Yeah... It was a banner first day at the brewery... Pur first visitor was Comcast and the second was Yeager.

We're taking that as an omen and shutting down the whole thing later this week

That's probably for the best.

God damn, I'm sore today. Physical labor is a job for young men or illegal immigrants. Who hid the god damned Motrin?

If you are too tired to work on your shed today, swing b and help me set up the rink. Piece of cake... Lugging around 14 foot 2x12s...

So, are you going to build a ramp or something to get the snowblower/tractor/brew-sculpture in and out of the shed? You going to run power out there?

You should have called me earlier, I could have come over for a while if I knew sooner. I can't now, have a ton of stuff to wrap before dinner at a friends house later. Next time.

A ramp is required. I have a riding mower and a ton of other heavy things that will live out there. Power is required, I'll probably run a feed from the pole instead of dealing with a trench from the cellar and having to worry about the sewer line and the driveway. Plus, with a panel in the shed I can set the compressor up out there permanently and jump off for other feeds into the yard.

A future project will be a sauna/steam shed over to the side of that shed. I'm toying with the idea of building a modified rocket stove with a steam generator in the combustion chamber as my heat source. If my welding skilz aren't up to the task ( as of now they're not) ill just use a wood stove with a pan of rocks on top.

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope your New Year brings you joy, happiness and lots of fine pints.

Yes indeed, Happy Holidays to all, and here's hoping there's a lot less drama, chaos and carnage in 2013.

Cape, cool to see you're up and running! I actually kinda know a pro brewer! (That's gotta be worth something, right?

)

Cheers!

Merry Christmas from Bonaire, everyone! Cape, excellent job getting Bog Iron up and running - and PTN, I like your second picture - it looks like you've managed to incorporate your neighbor's chimney into your shed. Well played. Maybe you won't need to get a wood stove after all.

I'm off to go for a Christmas morning shore dive, and then we'll be having mamosa's overlooking the Caribbean. Hope the weather sucks back home!!
