<p>I suppose it is turn = <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shift" rel="nofollow noreferrer">shift</a> (meaning that they can pack up to 90bbls per day if the packaging department works 24 hours per day). </p>

<p>I was going through a brochure in brewing and it mentioned Single Turn, Double Turn and Triple turn brewing. However, it did not mention what those mean. I would really appreciate if anyone with knowledge of this enlighten me on this. </p>

This is what they have: Total Price = Brewhouse Turn + Ingredients + Optional Services + Packaging
BREWHOUSE TURN: Base fee which includes up to 30bbls packaged yield per turn (yield
dependent on batch process) and up to 18 days in fermentation vessel.
• SINGLE TURN – $5,000
• DOUBLE TURN – $7,800
• TRIPLE TURN – $11,500

I suppose it is turn = [shift](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shift) (meaning that they can pack up to 90bbls per day if the packaging department works 24 hours per day).
