One big thing to keep in mind in terms of equipment, a fact about which I was told the other day, is that equipment costs money, but MOVING and INSTALLING the equipment can sometimes cost even more, and should definitely be a part of the initial budget. For example, we want to move up north after a few years or three, and so it makes no sense to invest in a 5+ BBL brewery right now. We're going to start small with 1BBL and go from there (and yes, I know the argument against it, but things are different over here).
