These days a brewery can be any size, from one pickup truck per week to multiple railcars per day.
In: LOTS of water, large amounts of grain, lesser amout of hops, some bottles kegs and boxes, some new equipment, liquified gases including CO2, chemicals for water modification.
Processing: water treatment, LOTS of heat, cooling, chemistry testing lab, cleaning with steam and chemicals, repairs
Out:bottled or kegged product via rail and truck, large amounts of spent grain, old equipment, large amounts of treated water.
Grain could be delivered by modified boxcars in the 60's, covered hoppers in the 70's. Heat source could be coal.
I am recreating a local brewery built in 1900. The 80 x 40 ft building was a decent size fo that time.
