My Homebrewpub (WIP)

[MultumInParvo]

Somehow I have missed this my whole time on the forum. This is really, really cool. Really just an ultimate basement. I bet you could get on TV for this one (do they still have the 'man cave' show?) or certainly a magazine of coolness.

You guys are setting up a Twister game?

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Yup, It's going to be called 'keg twister'.

How you going to get any insulation in there with that keg setup? I did something similar with the circles, but added 4 inches all around so that I could have 3" of foam, 1/2" of exterior sheathing, and 1/8" of showerboard to insulate and water seal the keg section.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I can always move the wall out a few inches, or I could just keep it as is and probably still be able to get 6-8 in there.

I haven't figured out exactly what I'm going to do with this yet, I just laid these out to see what I had to work with.

I was hoping for 8 taps and it looks like I should be able to make that happen.

Bud Ice? Seriously?

Exactly what I was just thinking. Maybe PhotoShop next time =)

 

[ajmartinez]

This is too many different kinds of awesome for me to even attempt to describe.

 

[HI_SALENITY]

very nice !

Work is progressing, I've just been slacking on updating this thread.

The new layout:

Brew room before tear down and wall construction:

Old bar has been taken down:

Brew Room wall framed up:

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Rebuilding the bar

Above the sink are the 8g electrical runs to accommodate an all-electric rig in the brew room at some point in the future.

The large portion on the left (to the right of the sink) is the cooling chamber. Right now, it's 35.6 cu. ft.. Obviously that will decrease after I get the insulation installed.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Some staging to get a feel for how much space there will be when completed:

 

[ohiobrewtus]

The stained and sealed floor (prior to the application of 5 coats of wax that I put on last night). Pics taken with my phone, so the quality isn't that great:

Any chances of getting detailed shot of just the bar framing? I'm looking to a similar bar very soon and and a retard. I can follow an existing design, but don't know enough structurally to design one.
Maybe email some? let me know I'll PM my email address.

Sure. I'll try to get some close up pics this weekend and take some measurements for you.

I had some known dimensions when I started building it, but beyond that I just kinda built on the fly.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Cool beans.

 

[illin8]

My only critique (I am in love with your basement and set-up, for the record) is the 2x4s on the top of the bar frame. I would have installed them upright instead of on their side. You get way more strength from them which could be important depending on the use of the bar top and what it's made of. Other than that looks awesome!

 

[cowgo]

Can't wait to see the end result. Looks like it'll be the ultra ultimate basement bar.

 

[Darkstashcrashes]

keep the updates coming!

Awesome thanks. swmbo is getting on me about the bar Horrible problem to have right!?

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I realized earlier this evening that I haven't updated this in a while... I'm still working on it, but I hope to be completely done in a couple of months. I'm currently working on finishing up the bathroom and doing doors/trim in the rest of it. After that, it's on to the bar.

From the brew room to the bathroom at the other end:

Brew room sink (I'll be putting up some waterproof board around it):

Brew room - wiring for eventual electric rig:

I wired for a TV just in case:

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Starter station:

Bar cabinets:

Bar cabinets again:

Guess what this is for:

12 Perlick 425's thanks to Brewmeister Jeff:

This is the urinal side of the bathroom - wired with HDMI for a TV:

The other side of the divider wall in the bathroom, where the toilet will go:

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I also ran some tubing from my garage (where I brew) to my brew room (where I ferment) with shutoffs:

Shelf in the garage:

Shutoff on the other end in the brew room:

Tubing from the shutoff:

This is going to really save my back. I never have to carry a full carboy again!

 

[annasdadhockey]

You're going to put a TV above the urinal? 100% Win!!!

 

[ohiobrewtus]

HA! Yup, that's the plan. HD, of course

 

[annasdadhockey]

You can't see me cuz we're on the internet, but I am making a bowing motion in the general direction of Marion, Ohio. That's the ****!!!

 

[Julohan]

This is great. Some great ideas. :rockin::fro::cross:

 

[Gremlyn]

<- very jealous.... Looking awesome!

 

[vfinch]

Looking VERY cool... it's definately coming along!

 

[Egghead]

Subscribe! I want to see the finished product! Very cool!

 

[Omegagodly]

thats really sweet all together when its done, thats some major creativity all in all.

What he said! :rockin:

Awesome project. It has really come along nicely!

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Yeah urinal tv is pretty cool. However I'm brew-geeking out on the line you have running from your garage to brew room! What a great idea and it actually looks really good. I'm sure it's going to look super awesome when you have wort/beer running through the clear tubing. Did you opt for silicon or is that just vinyl?

 

[android]

you may as well just turn the top floor of your house into a restaurant and have your bar in the basement. epic build!

 

[WortMonger]

Wow, very very impressive! I can't wait to see the final pictures of a job well done.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Some trim work on the bars began yesterday:

 

[Jaysus]
