For those of you that have used this equipment.

Do you think this is a potentially viable short-term solution for a start-up brew pub? My plan is to start very small and brew often until I can produce larger quantities. Or do you think that the cleaning process would take too long to make it worthwhile? Any info or help would be great. Also, has anyone built this system from scratch and have an estimated price range? I'm guessing $10k or so? Thanks.

IMO I think you're are better off saving up for a bigger system if your long term goal is to start a brew-pub. This system is a great home system or brew pub trial and error system to dial in some new recipes.

I'd think that if you were determined to use this system, you'd want to be able to do back to back brews, which would require 50 amps and different wiring.

I would save money to buy a commercial set-up. If you are going to go commercial, you should buy what you want to eventually produce. I built a similar set up with pots from Stout Tanks and spent somewhere safely under 4K. However, I had a knowledgeable friend help out a lot. This set up is for home brewing only. It just makes you feel like a semi-pro. You need to have at least a 3BBL-7BBL system for a brew pub, in my opinion. Additionally, the transition from 15-20 gallon brews to barrels is drastic. You will not replicate your "small batch" beers on the larger scale. At least not until several tries.
