You mean OUT of the place. Layne is God.

Peek-a-boo! Ahhhhh your a funnnnyyy man!

Far from God here I assure you.
But he's welcome anytime!

Here it is!
First brewday a success!

YES! Huzzah! Gorgeous set-up. What did you brew? And how was the rig... did you hit all your numbers?

Just read through this whole thread today, that place looks awesome!! Now let's see some build pics of the brew setup

Brewd a version of Ed Worts plae ale with all Amarillo hops.
Still a few bugs to work out, but rig performed pretty well.
Gathered a little more wort than needed for the boil off rate, so came in 2 points under. Not bad.

Thanks Tony. We love it!
More pics later.

i love this... but i hate you... jk... very envious.

I just read thoguh this whole post, I loved the follwoing quote. (And now i have something else to work toward {other than trying to retire before 70})

Thanks guys. It really is a dream come true.
Some people have a boat,or camp, or condo on the beach, or they travel, gamble, or whatever.
We get together with friends and family and cook, and eat, and drink.
so it makes sence that thats where we'd spend our money.
We work hard.
We just celebrated our 25th anniversary. We did not have much money in the early days(none!) This is our reward for the next 25 years.

PS, your floor in that place is off the hook

I love everything about this thread. Absolutely fantastic.

Kegtoe- my Brother in law and I did the floors.
It's plain concrete, scored, and stained.
Looks like a million bucks, but is actually much cheaper than tile, ect.
Ohiobrewtus- YOU know how much better a beer tastes in a place designed for fun, AND how proud it makes you when people compliment it.

If I had ohio's basement and deck and could walk out back and have Layne's pub in my backyard, I'd say, "****, I'm dead. But heaven rocks!"

Wow... I just went through the entire thread..!!! I can't say much more than WOW. =)

Really impressive, makes my ideas for my basement seem really insignificant right now. lol I brought the idea of the cement floor up to my wife, but living in Iowa she's concerned about how cold the floor will get in the winter.

Yes, I do. It feels great, doesn't it? I'm having all of my buds over next Saturday for a party (first time some of them will see it), so I'm looking forward to seeing their reaction. That's part of the enjoyment after all of the hard work, isn't it?

If I had Layne's pub in my backyard, I'm not sure that I would use my basement *OR* my deck!

Let her know that once you get below about 4' or so, the temp doesn't change... winter won't make the floors colder.

Amazing. Absolutely taking this hobby to a whole new level. And here I am looking at all the keezers thinking how difficult it might be to build one...

friggin thumbs up man! that place is bigger then my house i'm renting, and it's a 4 bedroom with 2 floors... lol


great job!

Just discovered this thread.

That's quite a "pool shack" you got there. As a former resident of La. I have a pretty good understanding of how this will be enjoyed. I read through the thread looking for a worthy brew rig to complement the "shack".

Nice job all around.

PS I miss crawfish season.

I request a video walkthrough.

Thats a good idea. I'll work on it.

Phenomenal.

Late subscriber signing in! I think that is every guy's dream, especially on this site.

A walk in cooler/cold room would be the icing on the cake. The possibilities for lagering, aging, and a massive yeast bank would be great.

I'm hoping to finish my basement soon which will house my future brewpub. This build has given me a lot of ideas.

Brewin on the new rig!

Dear sweet Jebus that is such a nice set-up!

I demand pics of the entire brewday!!!

Brewin solo today.
Kinda hard to take pics and brew. Much less while im trying to figure the intricacies of the new rig.

I just saw this for the first time today..........Mary Mother of Jebus this is incredible.

I'm insanely jealous. You Rock!! :rockin:

Very Very Very Cool. I think the only thing missing is a sign out front of the pub.

It'a all fun now. If I put a sign out, it could turn into work :0

Amazing,simply amazing. My wife and I just had our 20th anniversary in November. Gotsta get saving if I want to build one like yours in 5 years.

I think the title of DIY is not worthy of this thread. This and a few other builds should have its own home. I am suggesting a Brew Shed/Man Cave forum, to celebrate the amazing places that the members here have created to create or consume their beer in. Then we need another forum for just the Backyard Brewpub as it is in a class of its own. Other people could start threads in that forum as soon as they have a place for 60 of their closest friends to party in style without messing up the house.

Did you ever get the logo finalized?

Holy jesus! How have I missed this thread up until now?

Did you hit the effin PowerBall or sumpin?

That is SAWEEEET!!!
