    Middle of Maine barn brewery build

    I have my fermentation cabinet set up with an inkbird and a warming mat. It's still pretty cold up here in Maine so I have not had to plug the cooling side in yet. Finished the wiring on the BK control and then put an extra long cord on the element as I haven't quite figured out my final layout...

    Well, I managed to wire the 240 outlet for my induction cooker. I put the wire in but need to buy another 240 outlet for my bk controller. I also installed a gfci near the sink and a further 120 outlet where the fridges are. Speaking of fridges, I found the two pictured (one is actually a...

    I've been out of town working the past few weeks but am now back and ready to get at it! I still need to procure (or build) a few worktables for the brewery but I did score a huge commercial fridge and I big household upright freezer. Not sure how I will use them but the deal was too good to...

    Thanks Rairdog. I wondered if that would be a no-no. I have the floor drains so little leaks are no problem. I planned on leaving everything unglued until I have a plumber look it over and give me tips just like yours.

    Installed the hand wash sink and added an extra spigot to the hot supply so that I can attach a hose for cleaning the floor. All the supply lines are in and I pieced together the drain assemblies. I'm ready for a trial run brew day tomorrow and then I'll finish all the gluing. I will run a few...

    Thanks! I started some of the plumbing yesterday. Should have it finished Friday when the faucet arrives. I plan to brew my first batch in the new brewery on Christmas day!

    Walls are all buttoned up with only a bit of trim work to do. Plumbing the main sink and the hand wash sink will happen this coming week. Now that all the construction debris is gone I am realizing what a huge space this is! I think I will need to build a couple work stations for the brewing and...

    Sorry for the lack of updates. Fall is a busy time and I wanted to get all my outdoor projects finished before the snow hits! I got some metal roofing panels and installed them on the bottom half of the walls of the brewery which will see the most wear. I finished the top portion with the same...

    Wish I could have fit it into the budget John Paul!

    Roughed in the milk room walls yesterday and started running the ship lap on the back wall. I need to get this room done quick as the inspector will be in next week.

    This sink arrived yesterday. You can see the tape on the floor showing approximate wall positioning of the milk room which will form part of the back side of the brewery. You can also see we were a bit off on our positioning for the supply and drain coming out of the slab but I should be able to...
