Beginner Brewer

[bcahill]

I have a crawl space that is very large in length and width but only about 3.5 feet high. Trying to figure out if I could make this work as a brewing location.

Going to brew laying down?
If the temperatures are good, it may work as a storage and fermentation area but sounds cramped to me.

How tall are you?

I sounds like he means fermentation area. What are the temps?

Moving around 5 gallons of liquid can be pretty challenging when you're not just standing up and carrying it. Might be a brilliant upper body workout though

Crawl spaces can be full of bad organisms.. mold, bacteria, etc.

Thanks guys. I have a closet next to the crawl space. Maybe I'll try that instead

is it finished? (concreted, etc). if so i use mine for a great fermentation spot, but i wouldnt want to try to brew in there unless i want to be in traction for a week to get my back straight. one thing i am going to do is make a low wheeled cart and put my carboys on it to roll around under there so i dont have to carry them.

imagine how entertaining your brew days would be if they we're your assistants. brewing away, singing their little song......
