I'm new to making mead. If you opened a brewpub, how many casks would you need? From what I understand, mead conditions a year or better. How much equipment is nessasary to do this? Isnt this a huge gamble, to make a product that takes so long to make? I guess you can sell yummy beer while waiting for the mead to finish. Like I said, I'm new and just trying to learn. I've been brewing beer and was introduced to mead by my lhbs owner. Yummy! I'm gonna attempt a chocolate mead and an apple mead this weekend. Any advice is good. Thanks!!!

For commercial production of mead, guesstimating the number of fermentation/aging vessels depends on the amount of business you expect to do -- what kind of market for mead there is in your area, the amount of $$ you have to invest, the cost of running the production, etc. These are all factors you have to sit down and mull over before you can get an idea of how many gallons per year you'll be producing, and how many vessels you'll need to maintain that output.
Hope this is helpful!

If you want help, I know the most incredible marketer. He took Frank's Red Hot Sauce from a guy in his garage to an international company which recently sold for more that $400 mil.
Before you start is always the best time to talk to him. That way, you can start off right! (or at least decide if you REALLY want to do it.)
