Apartment Brewing, Is It Possible?

Like so many others here, I am an apartment brewer and having alot of fun with it. If someone wants to brew, there is no reason to hold back and wait for a house when its very easily done in an apartment. granted I am limited to partial boil extract batches, but what the hell Im having fun so who cares.

 

No one is limited to extract...check out the partial mash thread in my sig.

 

One solution:

That SimpleBrew build looks incredible. I can only dream of having a system like that in my apartment (~800 sq ft... but the wife's stuff seems to take up 700 of that). That said, apartment brewing isn't so tough if you use a method like DeathBrewer's stovetop partial-mash or BIAB. And outside of the summertime, temp control is pretty easy since my apartment stays in the low 70's/high 60's.

Now if only I could figure out a cheap and small keg system...

 

I do 5 gal AG batches in my apartment, on an electric stove to boot with full boils (I do use a heat stick...). Let no one tell you what you can't do. I'm going to be getting a keezer soon with any luck!
