We're in the process of putting an addition on our house. As part of it, we're adding to our existing basement. I just got the ok from SWMBO to make part of this my brewing area!
I don't really want to shell out the cash now to get everything up and running right away. I also don't know how much of the space will be mine or where exactly in the room I can use (I have a general idea). I'd like to try to plan ahead as much as possible and do things now while the rest of the construction is being done (plumbing, electrical, ventilation).
Is it worth trying to have things taken care of now or should I just wait until we have the space? I have no idea what it might cost to add hot/cold water lines and a drain with a pump after the fact vs doing it now. There will be existing lines for all of this above the new area so it shouldn't be an issue tapping into them.
Ventilation is another concern. I could just make sure there's a window close enough and then have my ventilation hooked up that. If not, what kind of vent pipe size would I need to vent it through the foundation wall?
Am I missing anything obvious for this project?
