Bringing the CO2 in on rail cars makes sense to me. I don't really know how they get it but for the quantities they would need it seems likely that it would be supplied by rail. <br /> <br />Check out "The Complete Joy of Home Brewing" by Charles Papazian from the library. It will give you a good idea how the big boys do it and how it was done in the past. I have not brewed any since I moved and lost my gas stove. It is hard to boil 5 gallons of water on an electric range. I always used natural carbonation, sweetened the beer at bottling and let the yeast pressurize the bottle. I never even had one bottle explode but my brother was not so lucky. <br /> <br />I would like to have a brewery on my layout but I will have to give up some realism to do it. All of Cincinnati's breweries were closer to downtown or across the river in Kentucky. If my research does not turn up a small brewery on the CG&P at least I can haul beer in.
