Equipment Questions

Is there some equipment that we won't be using daily? Could we do a co-op and share this with other breweries?

Questions for the Business Plan

Some info I need to collect for the business plan:
  1. Responsibilities of each member
  2. Experience of each member
  3. Projected portion of the market
  4. Business entity form
  5. Location and facilities

Also, I wanted to know if we'll be serving at the location? Are we starting off with homebrew supplies or is that an expansion?

I know there will be many more questions and we may not have an answer right away, but we've got a lot of decisions to make.
