Brewpastor's Coldroom Build
|
|
I have been threatening this for years, but now it is coming together.
I have framed in a 80" x 90" cold room. Two of the wall are 2x4 against subgrade exterior walls and 2x6 against insulated above grade walls. The other 2 walls are 2 x 6. The ceiling is 2x6 against 2x12 existing insulated ceiling, and the floor is half 2x4 and half 2x6 on existing slab.
I have it all framed and I am ready to put in the window unit AC. I have build a recessed area for my draftbox/Irish Coffin. The interior ceiling height will be just under 8', with an exterior height of 9'.
I will post photos as they become available.

I was sitting too far from the monitor and thought I read 80' x 90' at first and was like, man Brewpaster does not mess around, still this is going to be awesome and can't wait to see the pics  |

OK, here are the first round of pictures. You are looking at the northwest corner of the garage/brewery. You can see the block on the back wall, which is the portion of the wall that is below grade. The place is a mess, but what can I say, it is a work in process.
Framed room with opening for Irish Coffin niche:
Framed draft box niche with bar surface. Note the space below the framing which allows access to the inside of the Irish Coffin:
The mess that is my brewery:
Irish Coffin temporarily in place:
I will be using standard insulation with craft paper backing. R-19 and R-12. Sheet-rock exterior and foam board interior. More to come.

For a few extra bucks you can get R-23 and R-13 batts. They are made with smaller diameter fibers.

Nice!
Looks like a solid old delta table saw there too!
I love all the random stainless goodies in there.
