I'm in.

Thanks KPSquared.....I have the other half of the hinges and had strongly considered adding them to right side as well, but I sort of wanted to keep with how the door was originally configured. Trust me, I'm very OCD about symmetry, but the push panel on the right side interferes with the...

Got the door hung today and some of the trim work done. Just need to fill in the gaps with barn siding and get the brewery cleaned and put back together. It was a long weekend and a lot of work, but I love how it turned out. I'm trilled that my storage space is no longer an eye sore off of...

I've had a busy day today. My son helped me frame the rough opening for the door this a.m. Then I finished cleaning up the door (now doors) and got the first coat of Sikkens Cetol BL wood sealer on, which is looking pretty awesome. We also got the new hardware (hinges, bolt lock, and...

Thanks. I ripped the door down the middle, reinforced it on the back side with some other barn wood that I picked up, and cleaned the hell out of it. Then I did some light sanding. I'm going to do several coats of poly this weekend and get the RO framed in. Before and after pics follow.

It has been forever since I was last on HBT. Sadly, my floor is still not finished in the brewery and I have been so busy that I haven't brewed in over 6 months. I do have a quick update on a little project that I'm going to tackle in the brewery. Off of the west end of my brewery I have a...

No the pvc is for the condensing discharge for my furnace and boiler. My keezer is in my bar area on the other side of the wall. I get condensation in mine as well. I shop vac it out everytime I open it up. I'm sure I will get some condensation in the lagering chamber as well, but I don't...

Collar insulated, CO2 manifold mounted, and tank/regulator placed. The chamber is now operational. Just need to tile the top with tumbled travertine, trim the vertical corners, and finish the wood work. I have an Oktoberfest sitting in primary in my other lager chamber at 48 degrees for...

Welcome to the forum. I'm over off of Oakwood Rd. between Ortonville and Oxford, so only about 25 min from you. I know what your saying about FFF's...GBH and ZD are two of my favorites. Let me know if you need anything.

I decided that I didn't have the ambition to rip down, debark, and knife cedar logs all day, so I went with a quicker alternative. I ripped down the rest of the pine slabs into 3" wide stock, then knifed them down into a log shape. Not as much character as the authentic cedar logs used on the...

I ripped down the pine slab to use as a step and made a base to support it. Should make life easier lifting kegs and fermenters into the chamber.

I'm sure that I could rig something up above the unit. However, I have a large 4" thick slab of pine that I plan on using as a stair step to make things easier. I ferment in Ale Pales and 6 gallon carboys with carboy hauler straps, no larger. My 10 gallon batches get split, so I can easily...

Thanks Huaco. I built the hinged lid and trimmed it out with pine boards. Just need to mill some log trims and tile the top to match my other pieces. Controllers wired up and working, just in time for my Oktoberfest to go into the secondary.....better late than never on that beer. This...

Cabinet dressed out with knotty pine, vents installed, and temp controller placed. I also installed an additional outlwt on the front in case I need to plug something in and for symmetry. Next onto the decorative lid and log trim pieces.

The freezer and framing.

Yup

Really nice work.....looks great!

Absolutely Gorgeous! Nice work.....enjoy!

Just a quick update on my fermentation chambers. I have been dabbling with some lagers as of late and am finding that my current lager chamber does a good job of maintaining primary fermentation temps, but the old mini-fridge that it is build around struggles to get the chamber below 7 degrees...
