Brew Room

[IBrewthere4Iam]

So I have this area in my basement that I think would be good for a brew room (picture to follow). It would keep me out of the cold/heat. I am wondering what would be required for ventilation if I were to go use a turkey fryer burner indoors. Or is that just a big No No all together?

You can see in the picture, excuse the mess, there is a double door in the wall that leads to the vent on the side of my house. Behind the doors is just dirt and the occasional gimp. If I had a fan set up to pull air from the basement out would that work?

Option 2 is invest in a gas range and drop a pipe from the existing pipe overhead (doubt the better half would approve).

I would really love to have a full brew station eventually all in one place.

Any thoughts ideas or opinion would be greatly appreciated

Here is the area.

This comes up from time to time. Using a propane burner gives off CO that needs to be vented properly. I would probably not do it at all, but if you want to, make sure to have it very well ventilated and monitor for CO.

Cool thanks, I knew I could not be the first to have that idea, just did not search correctly. Last people that lived here were super paranoid and have CO detectors all over the house and 2 in basement that are hardwired. So I would know for sure.

Still for some reason it just does not seem safe.

This thread can be closed! I have read enough to know its no Bueno for me.

Don't give up yet! Consider the electric brewery...http://www.theelectricbrewery.com

if you wanna brew inside then its a perfect excuse to go electric. I would never go back to propane now that I built my E-Herms.

Another vote for theelectricbrewey.com. I'm just about finished with my Kal clone.

Electric you say. Might need to look this way, before I buy EVERYTHING for all grain/gas

Yes electric is MUCH safer to brew indoors and you don't freeze/sweat when the weather outside sucks. If you wanna go propane try brewing in your garage.
