And if it's outside, why?

I brew on the back patio next to my gazebo so I can stay dry if it decides to rain. (I also have a beach umbrella for my brew pot in case of rain). We use turkey fryer for the mash and a huge 20 gallon pot for the boil. (When I say huge, my 6 year old fits in the damn pot.)
The only thing that sucks big time about our layout is that I live in a townhouse, and my kitchen is on the 2nd level...and my patio is accessable only by the walk out basement. Its a PITA hauling all the filtered water from the sink down to the brew spot...and even more so when carrying the boiling water for my temp rise.
Luckily I'm young and it works for now...but I better get myself a house in the next few years with a garage or a great storage/beer shed.
DrunkleJon said:Depending on the length of the run, an RV drinking water hose may work for you. I brew in my garage with the door open. Why? Full boils make for a much better final product in my opinion and the burner would be a bad idea indoors. Plus, I like to be outside, even if it is cold as all heck out.
Why do you say the burner would be a bad idea indoors?
I would be careful mixing brew area with ceramic areasacrifice said:Currently, I brew in my garage or in my driveway - I have a great view but the wind and the flies suck at times. When buying the house, one of the things I overlooked was making sure there was a sink in the garage - there is no sink - but the SWMBO said she wants to have one put in once we get settled (because she really likes my wine and mead). Messy as we just moved in: Thinking of putting a new electric brew system in the enclosed portion of my shed - my daughter is cleaning it up for her ceramics studio and would like the company, and it's 20' by 40' so there is enough room, but I would have to haul water.

I have one of these.

In the brewery, of course!Where do you brew?
Ok. CO I can understand, but I don't see the risk of fire being any greater than with gas burners on a stove.
In the brewery, of course!
My wife calls it the kitchen. :cross:

I just bought a house. I used to brew in the kitchen on the coil stove but now I have a nice backyard. My plans are to just brew in the backyard. However, I do have a nice backyard shed that has electricity and ac, but no running water. My plans were to turn that into my fermenting room.
That is not too difficult of a plumbing job. Nice brew shed though.
That is awesome.
I brew in the garage with the doors wide open, and I do that whether it's 80F or 0F. And the view of the park across the street isnt too bad.
