Hi everyone!
I must confess: I'm a total homebrewing newb.
I've been doing all sorts of research for a couple months now, trying to get a feel for the brewing process. I've been reading the books and magazines -- as well as these forums -- searching for inspiration on where to start.
But there is a bit of a problem -- I have no room to brew.
My studio apartment has a kitchen that is literally the size of a closet. I mean, you can basically step in it, turn around, and walk out. It's roughly as wide as your standard refrigerator, but somehow there's a tiny stove and sink squished in there. The stove's burners are electric and only one of them actually works. There's no overhead ventilation of any kind, and the sink can't fit more than a few coffee cups in it before it's full.
Yes. It's quite literally a converted broom closet.
The rest of the apartment consists of a bed, a small chair, and my TV for the most part. There's little storage space for anything, and I don't have access to a garage or basement. So I was wondering if anyone on here had an idea as to how to brew in such a small space.
What is the smallest rig you can get? Does anyone on here have some photos of their own small scale setups? I know everyone drools over the monster systems, but I'm looking for the Mini Cooper of homebrew rigs. Something that can fit in a very small space, like the size of a teensy stand-up shower. Not just small. But DWARF, even.
Any ideas?
