Massive build thread

*EDIT*This is a reallt long thread, lots of pictures not many words*EDIT*
After building my brewery for over a year I decided it high time to post some pictures.
Heres what we started with, just a painted corner of the basement

After this we upgraded our kettles and added some stainless tables.

Then a huge carboy overflow (just water) left a ton of water on the floor that took hours to mop up. So we framed out a wall, jackhammered a hole in the floor dug down below the foundation installed a pump, tiled the floor and bought a squeegee




After the wimpy little camp burner couldn't provide enough power for a boil we had to build burner stands

MORE TO COME.......

After upgrading the burners we looked to better control of the mash, we bought a BCS-460 (and have since upgraded to the 462) and built a flow rate controlled RIMS system.

So now were making lots of ber but we need room to store/ ferment it. So what do we do ? knock down more walls and build a dual stage walk in cooler/ fermentation chamber of course :rockin:





Also theres a mill

As of now only the refrigeration side of the walk ins is done, we ferment with an old 7-up fridge and a blichmann conical until we get more conicals and the fermentation chamber complete. There were tons more pictures but i tried to narrow it down.

That's f---ing awesome! I wish I had such a killer dedicated brew space. You are either single or have a very understanding swmbo. Either way congrats.

this is actually at my brothers house, we did an entire summer of work on a huge living room remodel so that kept her off our backs as far as the brew space was concerned.

Ahh, well played! You gotta keep them happy.

mark me down as jealous
