Yeah, at 7' 8" that would be a problem for sure unless you and all your friends are particularly short! The build is looking great. You are going to love it.

Check out this type of door (if you are interested.) Lots of light, seals very well and can be thrown open to get that 'outside-while-inside' feeling on those awesome days.

@hezagenius Are you going to put a roll-up garage door in that large opening? That'll be sweet if you do!!!

Because it's really hard to market new products if you say "Now, just the same!" :) Seriously, they look very interesting to me as it eliminates a connection. All of my beer and gas lines are now duo-tight and this is a perfect fit for a system like that. I'm struggling to understand how that...

Yeah. In my build I'm planning on a two-stage cold room (both small...basically a long 8' wide walk-in closet with two rooms.) Front part will be ~55F, the back part I'll keep at ~38F. That's the plan at least. I might need to up my glycol system as I'm going to use glycol chillers I...

Holy moly. I bet that shook the house when it fell!

I was making really good beer on my Banjo Burner and Cajun Cooker pot in my early homebrewing days. Suddenly, my beer was undrinkable. I hadn't changed anything...except I decided to clean my pot better between brews. Which was aluminum. Turns out I was scrubbing off the oxide layer between...

Looks great! Is that a hunk of concreate laying on the ground through the door?

Here's the link to a Unistrut trolley video. I've got a BrewHaHa 1/2 BBL system and that BIAC basket cannot be lifted without some mechanical advantage. I'm just now installing a smaller SS Brew Tech brewery (I don't yet have hordes of 'friends' at the new location, so 15 gallon batches last a...

I went to great trouble to put in a complicated floor trench system into my basement brew room. I think I put in about sixteen feet (five meters) of 4" drain and a pit for a lift pump to get it out. It surrounded my brewing area so that I could just spill to my heart's content. Let me first...

It won't be here until Monday, but I just purchased this large poly sink for my build. I had a stainless steel commercial unit with two 24x24x14 inch tubs and a 24" drainboard on order, but I'm canceling it since it was back-ordered until mid-September. It was almost four times the cost of...

You don't prevent it from dripping down the sides, typically. You want it to flow over the edges to get a level top, but there is a trick to managing when it breaks over the edge. The best way to handle it is to put drip paper/plastic down around the edges (if they overhang) or mask off the...

If you can pressure ferment, then you can get a pretty decent 'lager-like' cleanness in the low 60s. Here's a Brulosophy xBeermnt report on it. The purists can start shooting me now.

I'd highly recommend The Complete Guide to Building Your Electric Brewery if you've never built an industrial control/power box before. I used it to build the controls for a 3V 1bbl consecutive batch (almost 300amp) nano-brewery a few years ago. We've since moved on to a slightly more expensive...

Same here, dslater! I'm just making an extract Hefe on my 5-gallon system since I wanted to do some pre-boil pH experiments.

TL/DR: Your best bet to get low alcohol beer (other than lower OG) is vacuum distillation. Here is a Reddit thread discussing it. And a BYO article. Good luck! Yes, non-alcoholic beer, in general, requires one of three alcohol removal processes, all three with moderate to significant...

I haven't tried to load them down, so no promises, but they seem sturdy to me. The one with casters hold my glycol chiller, which is pretty hefty. I don't feel like it is at any risk when I roll it around. The casters are small, so don't imagine that you can roll it over an uneven floor easily...

I have two of them for my brewery. One on casters and one with the back shelf. My basic assessment: You get what you pay for, but do you really need the next level? Mine have been on my covered porch for three years. The tops are 'stained' with some damage from some spilled salts (NaCl or...

Speaking of the Grand Central, (as a public service announcement) Adafruit has them back in stock today.
