Here's a new build ( and my last )

First I had to build this:



Then the fun began

< Drools over the table saw..........

I so want one of those.

looks very nice suds, I like the conicals

wow, that setup is absolutely tits.

in your last photo, is the last vessel on your brewstand (to the right) a dedicated whirlpool?

How do you control the temp in the smaller room?

Showoff! Fantastic.

If you notice in the fifth picture down, there is a little gray box, that I am presuming is a temperature controller. That is probably hooked up to an AC in the small ferm room.

Every man needs a table saw. They are great to set beers on, with a coaster of course..

First time using conicals for me. What if I can't learn to use them?

No, it is an icewater container for recirculating while cooling.

There is a Ranco controling a little AC unit. It's been down to zero C so far, so i guess it will do the job.

Glorious! There are going to be some good times in that shed.

Gawd, I hope so. I haven't been able to brew for a long time. Once I get fired back up though, the place will be full of old duffers. BTW I still covet thy dog...

Nice build.

On topic though...

So once you get the chill room done and other hardware in place how much space are you going to have left? Will it be pure brew or are you go more the workshop with benefits route?

Well, the rig is going to live were it is sitting. A water heater goes in the shop too, along with the barley mill. A deep sink is all that will take any more of the floor space. The framing for the second cooler closet shows how much room is left..

Thoght I would close this thread out with a few pix of the result.......











That's it. Now I can start brewing using it.......

cool, thanks for sharing suds

I think it's official suds...

You win

That is one sweet setup you have there. Both for brewing and enjoying brew...

Just one question... How many urinals did you include?

Thats awesome. Too bad you won't get to enjoy it for too long.

dataz722, now that you've said it, he's going to out live you... Just for the principle of it all... :rockin:

You need to watch out for the geezers... They can usually get the judges to take pity on they without too much effort... "Honestly judge, I didn't see him crossing the street"... I believe they're even networked now, so he won't even need to go to where you are to take revenge...

Hahaha... We have a small toilet in the front of the shop that we use for gardening emergencies. Just one pot and basin. It will have to do....

Nice work Suds. I wish I had the land to put a building that size on. What size is it?

Lock the toilet with a lock that needs a credit card to unlock (pay to use, basically)... Of course, you'll have the "free pass" card...

That came together really nice Suds. Looks really nice. I have one question. If the smaller room is your fermenation room, how are you fermenting ales and keeping kegs at serving temperature? What am I missing?

You are not mssing anything, my friend. When ales are fermenting, I set the whole room to 65f to start and move up toward the end of fermentation to about 72f. The lagers go in the coolers.........

I knew you didn't leave out any details. Well done.

Looks great! I particularly like the drip tray!

Turned out great Suds! Looks like you are set now.

It would sure be nice to have a setup like that. I'll get there one of these days.
Very nice Suds!

Do you have a room for rent?

Would you adopt me?

I am the son you never wanted.

PS I would need the free card for the john.
