So I've been dreaming of my own Electric setup since stumbling upon Kal's site a couple years back. Not sure why, but I'm not a huge fan of brewing with gas, it works fine, I just don't like it that much. Anyway, the budget and timing has never been quite right, so it's been pushed to the wayside a few times.
Back in October my dad was diagnosed with cancer (don't worry, he's done with treatment and doing good) which led my wife and I to decide it was time to move closer to family. This transition was further expedited when we found out she was pregnant with our 2nd child. By no means bad news, just a bit earlier than originally planned . So back in April we packed up everything in Colorado and moved into the new place in Meridian, ID.
When we were house hunting we were down to two places, one that she liked a bit more (newer, nicer, cheaper, plenty of room for the family but a smaller garage and no obvious place inside to brew) and one that I liked more (huge, plenty of room inside, etc.). I don't have to tell you which we chose, but with this decision made and a 3 week motorcycle adventure to Alaska indefinitely postponed with the impending arrival of a new little one, she felt that I deserved a little something for me. So she finally ok'd the the brewery and I started building a huge budget spreadsheet and ordering parts.
