Hi all,

I've been home brewing for 7-8 years, and have been a lurker here for nearly as long. We just finished renovating our basement and I was lucky enough to build out my dream brewery! I've taken the hobby to the next level and am now going by Ironton Brewing!

New equipment consists of a Spike 20G bottom drain Trio system, a Spike CF15 conical fermenter, an SS Brewtech 1/5HP glycol chiller, and all the bells and whistles to go along! It's exciting to "come out" and become a contributing member; I've still got plenty to learn from everyone!

Cheers!

Welcome to the gang!

You say you got plenty to learn, but certainly not setting up a great brewing system and brewery! Impressive!

Thanks! It was a ton of planning and work and it’s awesome to brew in!

I'm very jealous to say the least!

Ironton, hope we cross paths. Really nice set up!!
How are you dealing with steam? Venting or condensing?
Have you considered joining a club?

Hey! I’ve got the steam condensing lid from Spike brewing. It works great, but I also have a small window and a 300 cfm exhaust fan so I’d like to try that over the condenser in the future.

I plan to join the Brew Hut/Dry Dock homebrew club one I get a few more batches under my belt.

Cheers!

Wow!!!!!!! Now that is a setup. In my retirement planning my wife has already agreed to allow me a shop/brewery when we look at property to get the heck out of California. That is the example I would for sure go by if I was going to set something up. Might be a bit more DIY as I know those kettles and all the do dads are a bit pricey, but you gotta a heck of a brewery there. Nice!!!!!

Welcome from Missouri!

That's a sweet looking set up you've got there.

I’m guessing clubs; RockHoppers or ACBC both good folks. A couple FOTR members double up clubs with one them. It’s interesting how clubs take on a culture.
BTW the Brew Hut folks are great. I was in a couple weeks ago and Nick asked if I still wanted a bag of Chevallier special ordered, heck yea! Picked up 2 days later!
Steam condenser seems the way to go if you can; quiet and minimal heat loss in winter!
