Update: I have been busy working and when you work 7pm-730am, u need to do a lot of sleeping also. The SWMBO also strongly requested that I do outdoor work now that the weather here in West Michigan has turned the corner towards spring. I will post pictures as I start the rough-in electrical and...

Here is a visual of the space im working with. Any input on how to maximize this space or features I need to have in this space, would be appreciated.

Update: I got most of the rough in framing done. I used 2x4 walls all around the exterior, so I can fully insulate and run electrical. I just need to put a bulkhead above the bar to hide the header and duct work that is running there. I still need to frame in for the corner fireplace once I...

Looking good. Ill be following the progress!

I put up a temporary wall for support (pic 1), then I was able to tear down the bearing wall. Made some nice big beam pockets (pic 2) and then got the headers installed. Got the temp. support wall down. It really opened up the space nicely.

Made a trip to menards yesterday. Got these these big ole LVLs for the support headers, plus a bunch more framing lumber. The SWMBO asked the question "how much you spend?" Hate when she asks that, as I know what follows my response. She was not thrilled to say the least.....but come to find...

I got some framing done yesterday and this morning. This is the bar/ kitchenette area. Next is the door opening to the brew room, which is going to be behind the bar area so taps come through the wall behind the bar. Last is the support wall, which is coming down. I need 2, 14 inch wide, 16f...

Hey Guys, I got some grain from my LHBS, a two-hearted clone, and had them crush it for me. School, work and family took over so I never got to brewing that day. The grain has been in my Fridge for almost 2 weeks. How long will it stay good/usable or did I wait too long already? Thanks for the...

I brewed this one this weekend. I bumped up the 2-row a pound and used All citra in this brew(it was all I had on hand). I pitched US-05 that I washed from a pale ale. This was my 1st time washing and reusing yeast and this Blonde is going crazy. I needed a blow off tube with this one. Anyone...

This is a porter that I made. OG of 1.067 with final of 1.028. Been in primary for 2 weeks and secondary for 1 week. Has a thin layer of clear/ white stuff on top. See pic. Rack and keg or get rid of beer?

I forgot to cover my boiled water when cooling...should it be ok yet? My jars look beautiful with a nice white layer of yeast in the bottom. Will they be good yet, or do I throw the yeast away?

I used the Info learned here and it worked great. I have 4 jars of US-05 in the fridge now. How Long will US-05 keep in fridge. Anyone wash 05?
