Hi Everyone,

This is my first post. Well i been working on this project for a couple months now and its finally getting done. Just wanted to know what you guys think. This was a storage space in my house that was not being used so i decide to start working on it so i can brew inside since it rains here all the time. The space is around 12ft by 17ft.
I am still looking for ideas for walls and the floor. was thinking about home depot epoxy floor stuff. anyone else use it. and for wall either, fiberglass plastic, tiles. or will even water proof paint work?

More to come as i work on it
 
Wow! It looks great man. Please keep us updated on the progress. Like Mike said, I wish I had the extra space to setup a room just for brewing. I'm still doing most of my homebrewing outside like a barbarian. Hah!
 
Now building my stand

yea i am lucky to have a whole room that i can use as my brewery. it was storage space but who need storage when you can have your own brewery.
 
now doing some painting. i seen someone else do this and thought it was a good idea. sorry i stole the paint idea. but thanks... :mug:

Awesome I love build threads!

Looks great, loving the paint job. Can't wait to see the rest!
 
Be careful with the burners and that sprinkler in the ceiling. I know of a person who uses those same burners in his garage and has set the sprinklers off due to the heat the burners produce while boiling. He had to disable his.
 
Make sure you do a leak/pressure test on your plumbing you welded in as well. Not trying to to be a negative nancy just dont want you to get hurt. I have mig welded gas tank bungs when I build tanks for my motorcycles and it's tough (Not impossible) to get a leak free mig weld.
 
thanks for the heads up. i did a leak test and everything seems to be fine, i did a couple over lapping weld just to be sure. i was not going for pretty just trying to make a good seal. i ran the burners and everything was working great.
 
Thats awesome good job! I cant wait until I have a basement or garage to brew in!
