Progress has been minimal this week. I got the exhaust fan framed in, it looks tiny but it's 12"x12" and plenty big enough to suck brew kettle steam out. I can't get my gravel inside, it's frozen solid! It's 16f here right now. As soon as I get the gravel in I will plywood and tyvec it, that should only take a day or two.

You aint kidding, my thinned out Yankee blood can't take this cold! It's supposed to be in the low 60's by Monday.

I got to say that is has been really cold here lately. I brewed up Jamil's Nutcastle last Saturday and I don't think it got above 35 all day. When I went to drop the Shirron plate chiller in some star san the foam bubble froze in about 10 minutes.

Brew Space looks awesome! Damn, I seam to be all thumbs on projects like these. My wife might be able to build it before me!

Finally got the plywood and tyvec on it. Progress will be slow for a while, I hope to get the overhangs boxed in and the door hung, then try to do cement. At least it's at a point where the weather can't hurt anything.

Nice... wish I could do that, if I put down the wrong color dry bark the HOA sends me a letter giving me 10 days to fix it. HOA's and all out beer brew craziness don't mix.

Wild West, it's looking very nice. Any problems w/ rainwater draining off the hill and running to your shed?

That's pretty cold for those parts, I grew up in Knoxville. However, living in Wyoming now I'd trade your weather for mine (at least this time of the year); it was in the negatives every day for a week, two weeks ago, and high for tomorrow is going to be 16.

Can't wait to see it all come together!

Cheers.

Good eye! I have one spot where it is draining under the treated board a little bit. I have a gravel "ditch", but I need to build up a bit more. Once the crusher run gravel hardens up it gets like cement and it won't be a problem.
