What is it about the initial drawing you posted that you don't like, or doesn't work? In my day-life, I am an architect, and am willing to throw a few ideas your way (more mind-time than drawing-time, if you will...) but I'd have more questions in order to figure out the puzzle...

wow... I want to come to your next party! Amazing basement you have there...

Check with your local inspector about minimum door widths. Your first sketch showed 21" doors into the toilet room. Our local inspector said 24" minimum, with 30" recommended for "comfort". The main door into the kitchen doesn't list a size, but make sure it's big enough to get equipment in...

Looking for anyone in the area of Frederick, MD, Hagerstown, MD, Chambersburg, PA, Gettysburg, PA (traveling further out is ok, with pre-planning) that would be willing to let a noob observe your brew day. Willing to schlep gear, help clean, etc in exchange for knowledge and endless questions...

Spent the weekend prepping for a memorial poker run to raise funds for the widow and children of a fallen firefighter In my community.

Is this still available?

Richmond is only a 3 hr drive for me. Might have to run down one weekend. Where did you stay? was It fairly central to all the breweries you went to, or a bit of a drive?

I‘ve noticed. But none of my hobbies are cheap... 🤷‍♂️

I just opened the first bottle of my first all grain batch today. it was the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone recipe from BYO’s clone recipe special issue. I did it as a “brew on premise” session with my local shop. I’d done one previous extract session years ago with them and had a horrible...

Good point. I’m thinking if I include the T’s that are at the bottom of the uprights, I could temporarily attach the outriggers if I ever needed a stand-alone support, but take them off when it’s attached to the Keezer. Maybe with strong Velcro strips or some sort of clamp system or...

I’d be interested in the kettle, if you’d be willing to hold it for a bit. I’m in the Gettysburg area, but am going out of town tomorrow for work.

I like that. I may see about building the cage, and somehow attaching the uprights to the side of my Keezer, so I don’t need to horizontal stabilizers... looks great!

We did, indeed, go to the ballet a few times.

Welcome back! I’ve passed through Essex before. Went to college just north of Detroit and had a few classmates that lived around that area. We’d often visit (pre 9/11) and party on your side of the line, since the age requirement was lower. 🤣

Without reading all 174 pages of this thread, is there a coffee roasting starter video to help me get started, without wasting/burning my first couple batches, like I did with beer? 😭 Is there a flavor or efficiency difference between air roasters and drum roasters? TIA

CO2 should never be used with coffee. It makes the coffee oxidize (or whatever the scientific term is) and taste bad, in my experience, almost immediate. The nitro faucet will introduce the tiny bubbles, and pure nitrogen is what Starbucks uses for their cold brew (only know because I asked...

FAR be it for ME to upset your design ideas! :cool:
