Get Ready for Brewery & Winery Season: Equipment Checklist from JME

As temperatures rise and production ramps up, brewery and winery season is officially here. Whether you’re preparing for increased demand, seasonal events, or busy production schedules, now is the perfect time to make sure your equipment is ready to perform.

Repeated transfers, longer run times, and increased sanitation cycles put extra wear on hoses, seals, and fittings. Catching worn components before production wraps up can save significant downtime later.

From transfer hoses and pumps to fittings and washdown equipment, having the right products on hand can help keep operations running smoothly all season long. 

Prepare Before Peak Season Hits 

The busiest months for breweries and wineries can put extra strain on equipment. Worn hoses, outdated fittings, or unreliable transfer systems can quickly slow production down when you need efficiency the most. 

A few ways to prepare for the season: 

• Inspect hoses for wear, cracking, or damage: Micro-cracks can be hard to spot but affect product quality and flow 

• Replace old gaskets and fittings: In high-use environments, tri-clamp gaskets should be replaced at least once a season  

• Check pumps and transfer systems: Chec for unusual noise, vibration, or reduced flow  

• Make sure washdown equipment is functioning properly  

• Keep backup parts and accessories stocked: Doing this will ensure a failed component doesn't halt production  

Having the right equipment and checking maintenance before the busy season begins can make all the difference.  

Stay Ready All Season Long 

When production picks up, having dependable equipment on hand can help keep your brewery or winery operating efficiently from start to finish. Preparing ahead of the busy season helps reduce downtime, improve workflow, and keep your operation running smoothly when demand is at its highest.
