If you can borrow a copy, get your hands on "Industries Along the Track #2". Although my purpose for owning the book was to research the paper industry more, there is an excellent chapter on Breweries that explains all of what I mentioned.
I meant to mention this the other day. Just because you're renting doesn't mean you can't be building.My "kidney" was built while my wife and I were living in a 1 bedroom apartment.

They have some tables in this book about how many carloads of various ingredients are needed relative to the brewery capacity, but when I run the numbers for Schlitz and Pabst in the 1970s I get what seems like too few covered hopper carloads per day compared to the photos I have. Not saying that it is wrong, just that it doesn't make sense to me (as if that were something new). I'll take another look at this tonight over a beer.Best wishes, Dave
