I came here craving beer porn. . . I got some but I gotta tell you this whole cat thing is interesting. Several people have made a good point that it isn't the cat's fault and to not take it out on the cat. That is fair but the problem is clearly the owner doesn't give a hoot. I don't care what type of animal was under my house destroying my HVAC it would have to be conditions to stay out. . . and I gotta tell you all, I wouldn't be dumb enough to let it rip up my HVAC a second time.
Build looks great, every time i see things like this I a little piece of me dies of envy!
So, you gonna take some of that extra insulated pipe you got and warm/cool the main part of the brew shed?

Haven't thought that far ahead yet. The garage is heated and cooled, so im going to put some vents in the back wall, so when im brewing the exhaust fan will pull fresh air through. Heating wise, my burners will heat it up nicely. I may put an in wall gas heater in there and maybe a wall air conditioner.
I built a cooler about 10X10. Used an old air conditioning outside unit as compressor and an old "A" coil inside the cooler room. Hung the "A" coil upside down and mounted an attic ventilation fan on top of it. I could get the room down to 27*F!! You have to "undercharge" the system to get cooler temperatures. But it works good. You need some kind of drip tray under the coil to catch the condensate.

The only thought i've given it is the size. I'm going to knock it down to 5' x10', or 4' x10, I have a habit of making rooms to big. This is one area i'm going to splurge in, i'm leaning in the direction of a coolbot to handle the cooling duties. http://www.storeitcold.com/
Awesome project! Can't wait to see the finished product. I've got an off topic question on the link in your sig. How does that force carb chart work w/o a period of time factor?

The chart assume you leave it until it reaches equilibrium. It is not a "leave it at this pressure and temp for X amount of time to achieve Y" type of chart.
Well, spring has sprung, and so has my interest free Lowe's card!
Overhangs are done, siding is 99% done, and i'm ready for cement. Hopefully it will be poured this Friday. I'm going with a 100amp electrical service, so electric brewing will be a future option.
I splurged on the black outlets and stainless covers. I think they just look like their made for a brewery. It's actually looking like this may be done by summer, I can't wait!
Overhang sheeting and fascia painted before installation.
