    Yeah...the entire pitch to the "powers that be" was focused on the word, "TEMPORARY," but was still denied. Is it worth it to pursue legally or should I just "build it and they will come" and just hope they'll never come? :p

    Ok. Ran into a slight bump in the road. Anyone out there have experience in "battling" with their local municipalities as pertains to variances in building code?

    I've always found it interesting in how perspective plays a part in the multitude viewing the same thing. Right now, the rig is in the garage, occupying part of a single wall, and there's not enough room. As soon as I thought about the brew shed, I thought I wish I could build it to 16' x 24' so...

    Didn't put them on there as they're only temporary until I can order an outdoor silo. ;)

    Quantity of 5, 60# stackable bins (pic attached)

    Just under the brew rig (7' x 2' table).

    I guess it comes down to the feeling of having no other alternative than to "cram" all the equipment into what seems to be a ridiculously small space. Being limited to no larger than a specific size of structure also limits the layout. When it comes down to it, just being able to "fit" all the...

    That would be absolutely awesome. Unfortunately, there is simply far too much rock to make that manageable. :(

    The shed will have a monoslope roof. It will be 8' tall in the back and nearly 11' tall in the front, so plenty of height to stack kegs.

    Yes, already have the Conicals with integrated heating/cooling systems...for use with existing IceMaster Max 4. However, I have thought about a separate walk-in, but simply don't have the room. :confused:

    I drew each of the components (tri-clamps, housing, band, etc.), then grouped them together into one image. I really wish I could get around wasting so much time on that kind of stuff and embrace the "good enough" idealogy. o_O If you use Visio and want these, PM me your email and I'll send 'em...

    Yeah, at this point I'm really struggling. I'm rapidly approaching the point in which the new shed will either be a production facility OR a pub shed. I'm going to work on it for another week or so, then the hard decision shall be made. Besides, I'm sure the wifey would love it more if it were...

    Couldn't find any, so I made my own. Can't stand it when things don't look the way they're supposed to. :p

    Dang. Tried this exercise multiple times, but still can't get things to work. The three components that are hindering progress are... 7' x 2' Stainless steel table 4' x 2' Stainless steel 2 bin sink 5' x 5' Walk-in cooler Can't change the sizes of the table or sink, but any smaller and the...

    I'm amazed at and grateful for all the ideas presented (most of which I hadn't even considered). tracer bullet and shoengine, with what you've presented, I'll definitely be keeping the tap heads immediately off the cooler. Just doesn't make sense to have to deal with all those calculations and...

    This is the corner of the back yard where the shed will be built. This might help you understand why I cannot build any larger than the 12' x 16' footprint as well as why doors and such need to be in specific locations as well as "not" be in specific locations. The background brownish color is...

    How far can I run the beer lines? If I were to reconfigure in this fashion, the lines would have to run up the inside of the wall in the walk-in, across the ceiling to the opposite side of the building, then down to the outdoor bar seating area. I'm thinking that would be at least 24 feet.

    I'd absolutely love to be able to do this. Unfortunately, along that wall, is the primary walkway, which is only 3' wide. In order to do this, I'd have to shrink the shed from a 12' depth to a 10' depth, and even then it might feel weird for people if others are walking behind them. You know...

    All doors are 28" doors, but I could expand them to 30". However, that extra 2" does make a difference (heard "that's what she said" off in the distance) as pertains to the associated room size (half-bath).

    I've always wanted the half-bath and the cooler on the same wall, but was worried I wouldn't be able to push the beer that far. Is that possible? Thanx again. Trust me, if the thoughts are not my thoughts, they're most likely better! :p
