My new Brewery and Alehouse-Shed (Brewing Porn )

I have been working on this for the past 6 months, 95% completed, just a few punch list items to finish up, thought I would share some of the goodies:

Stats: 4 refigerators, 2 sinks, a dishwasher and mean ass brewing system:

I am a british beer nut , and just nuts ( so says SWMBO ...)


The Pub :

looks fantastic, whens the pubwarming party ?

Fantastic!

The Brewery:

Is this a separate unit outside of your home? If so, please let me know how you sold this idea to your wife, so that I can give it a shot with mine.

EDIT - oh wow, the other pics are up now. Can I please have your address so that I can rob you blind?

btw-What wood is the bar made of?

This is a 24' x 14' shed on a property I bought back in July 08, the property is about 10 minutes from home. I would buy your wife what ever it is she wants for years before trying this type of stunt .

It's just a piece of brich ply, I picked thru a stack at Lowe's till I found one with heavy spalting ( a naturally occuring defect ) .

WOW. That, my good man, is beyond awesome. I look forward to chatting with you about the particulars on Sunday!

Boy, that looks fantastic. One of the best I have seen.

Amazing! I am truely jealous. Any outside shots of the building?

Throw in a poker table and it'll be perfect.

You made a lot of progress in a week. It looks GREAT!

Holy brew sheds, what's up with all the over the top kick ass brew rigs showing up here lately? For overall presentation, you sir, win. That kitchen/brew shed is tits, plain and simple.




What in the hell do you guy's do for a living?

HOLY ****! That thing is awesome!!!

mofugger, that is amazing..

...And how do I start?!

ok, it's official


I hate you

Very, very nice!

Nice !! But all that and only 3 taps?

That's one great looking bar! Very jealous. Still working on mine and you've given me some ideas. Thanks for sharing

Wow...

...that must have taken you all afternoon... I'm forwarding this to SWMBO in an effort to manage her expectations of my brewing "hobby".

Hey - Ohiobrewtus - where do you get those avatar pics?

Dang and I thought I was serious about brewing, looks to me like you could go into the biz. I to would like to know what you do for a living because obviously I'm doing the wrong thing.

nice!
I can't wait to be settled in to a permanent house so I can do serious finish work on a brewery space. Right now I'm spoiled with a raw 900 square foot, water, power, etc., in a building that is mine all mine, but I can't make any permanent additions since I hope to sell it in the spring and don't want to pay for things I cannot take with me.

Looks like you have been working the restaurant auctions or some other way of scoring the stainless sink, backsplash, hood, restaurant grade viking fridge, etc...

Wow, you've just upgraded my plans. Nice Fullers London Pride handle, love that beer.

So we still haven't found out what you do to afford this. Where do we sign up?

Don't go into engineering or live in NJ. I'm doing it so wrong.

/Brewing area is so bare bones it hurts.
//Don't have a bar yet either.
///No kegerator.
////Only have a 3 gallon carboy and 6 gallon better bottle.
/////No longer feel so bad about buying a pump for wort cooling and another better bottle soon.

WOW!!!!! Simply WOW! :rockin::rockin::rockin::rockin:

I am in awe my good sir- Well done!

Wait flyangler gets to be in your presence and regal in your beautiful labor, and I don't!?!? *CURSE YOU BREW GODS!*






I take that back I was only joking; Don't want to jinx my clean streak!

Your gonna hate me even more, because my brewshed property is on a trophy trout designated stream, my property has almost 200' of frontage on a stream loaded with big trout ......I have a cottage and another shed on this tract.

Thanks for all the well wishes and (hatred ...) ,I have collected a bunch of stuff over the past 20 years for this place, I also have some really great friends who helped out . The downside to these projects is the lack of brewing time, but with it almost finished, I can't wait to dig in and start cranking out some serious beer again.

Now that's a shed!

Where about's are you w/ the stream? Stocked or natural habitat?

Both , but plently of natives:

Nice! Better than anything I've pulled from silver creek.

That's great....I really like the attention to detail. I've always been a fan of the eurotanks....and I really like the crossbeam in the ceiling with the rigging. I take it you eventually plan to live on this property? Hell, if it's 10 mins from your house, I'd just move in there and rent the old one out!

My vote is for meeting at mrbowenz place instead of Ship Inn.

We need directions!

You suck.

Awesome. When I told Bob about this, he said I can "have" the bunkhouse for myself for a project like this. I might take him up on it, in the future, but it's a seasonal building and I'd have to figure out something else for winter. It's at the lake cottage, and it's smaller than yours.

Wonderful pictures- thanks for sharing them.

so you have fish and chips right there?

i so hate you right now.

WOW, that is crazy my friend, just crazy. I want to be crazy too!!!

Are you on the Tulpehocken or Little Lehigh? I've spent many an early summer morning casting #28 trico spinners to big fat browns.

I know where I'll be this spring.
