Are you on the Tulpehocken or Little Lehigh? I've spent many an early summer morning casting #28 trico spinners to big fat browns.

I know where I'll be this spring. ;)

Here on the Saucon you can fish a #22 trico on a 6x tippet and still catch 20 fish in a morning. That monster was caught on Cicada last summer though. The Hammersmith Alehouse and Brewery is located within the Bethlehem City limits, near Lehigh's athletic fields. close enough for a tailgate!
 
Fantastic setup! Congrats and enjoy! Stop reading posts and go make beer instead... ;)

Amazing! I am truely jealous. Any outside shots of the building?

Throw in a poker table and it'll be perfect.

AWESOME! LOL

I guess I worked in reverse - I built 2 poker tables long before I got into homebrewing. Slowly but surely, my mancave is becoming just that - MY mancave.

I still have to share it with all of my daughters toys though. (Maybe when she gets to teenhood all of that **** can go away and I can truly make it my very own!

Freakin Awesome! I feel so inadequate with an incomplete 12'x20' brew shed. :D

I hope to be brewing in it next month, but funds are tight right now.

Great job!

"Funds are tight" wow Ed you hit that one dead center. I would be happy with just an 8' x 8' storage shed for brewing equipment in my back yard.
Land sold by the sq/ft on the island.
 
I believe that this is one of my favorite home bars I have ever seen. Very pub like, can't forget the darts! Very nice. :)
 
This gets me thinking - I have a 400 sq ft studio on our property that is finished - except no water supply. We have a sewer line running under it, so running a supply shouldn't be too hard. I could move my entire operation out there.....

Awesome. When I told Bob about this, he said I can "have" the bunkhouse for myself for a project like this. I might take him up on it, in the future, but it's a seasonal building and I'd have to figure out something else for winter. It's at the lake cottage, and it's smaller than yours.

Wonderful pictures- thanks for sharing them.

I ran a line from a hose spigot supply one the house across under the yard to surface at a yard hydrant next to my garage. They are safe for freezing conditions as they drain out when you shut them off. I have a cover and a hole to pull out a hose to the hydrant and that hose supplies a manifold inside that sends water to my utility sink and my sprayer hose (which has two filter housings so I can prefilter and carbon filter my well water, city users can probably just carbon filter).

I have pics in my album.

Easy way to supply water to your shed.

That's almost exactly what I did, except I ran it to a 50 gallon hot water heater too !!!!!, I love hot water .......
 
Mr bowenz,
do you drain your water heater when you won't be around using it for a while? I only really brew every other weekend now and wouldn't want to run one for 2 weeks for no reason but to avoid freezing pipes...


I've thought of going on-demand hot water, but the electric ones don't look all that great for the price yet and I don't have gas service.

I do drain it if I am not brewing for more than a week, which during construction has been the case, although it really doesn't hurt . I do have heating and airconditioning in the brewery, so freezing hasn't been an issue yet, eventhough here in the northeast it's been a really cold January.
 
Love the brewery! Euro tanks always looked better to me than converted kegs. *shrug*

*makes list for NEXT project*
 
one thing...
your fire extinguisher looks like it's placed in a location that would be difficult or impossible to get to if you had a fire at your most likely fire-spot (the brew rig).
Do you have another at the opposite end or middle of the place?
 
Nothing special to add. Just keep getting drawn back to this thread. The pictures could be looked at with a depressing attitude of something that is unattainable or seen for their artistic appeal. That perfectly proportioned woman. A finely designed motorcycle. The mechanical nature of well written code. The simplicity of a country landscape. There are some things that are just pleasing to the eye. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on a great job.
 
Nice!!

Very interested in the ventilation system you have... care to give details?


Thanks
Bryan
 
Stunning, simply stunning.

More than I love the look, I have the utmost respect for your taste and creativity.

There's more to creating magic than just money.
 
Very nice build! Also, nice brown... We don't get a lot of brown's around here anymore, it's atleast a 2 hour drive west of Boston to find some hookjaw'd browns...
 
Bowen, I have to do a show in Chicago this weekend (Thur - Tues), but when I get back we have to get together, crack a beer, and put that luvverly shed through its paces.

I mean, DAY-um!

:D
