I recently bought a new old house, and am starting to plan for converting a portion of an upstairs "bonus" room to my brewery. I'm seeking suggestions and advice on safety considerations as well as usability.
The room was once attic space that was converted to living space... foundation was reinforced, 2x12 were put on top of what was already there. I found water lines, drain lines, gas line upstairs. The room is climate controlled and has a few windows as well. Based on how messy I am with brewing in the past, I'd like to use some sort of floor drain for at least part of it.
Here are some thoughts I already had:
I have the whole room at my disposal, haven't gotten into any specific layout plans yet, just trying to see what other folks have done. The ceiling is sloped due to the roof so some areas can make my hit my head.
Thanks!

Here are some thoughts I already had:
- Ventaltion of room for combustion gasses
- CO & methane detectors
- Fire extinguishers conveniently located
- Possible Sprinkler system
