Good looking deal there Ed !, looks like mine ! You will be happy with that hood , and having a neighbor to build it is even sweeter . Now brew him up a well deserved beer !

We will be watching this all come together .

Good looking deal there Ed !, looks like mine !

Thanks. I could use the measurements of yours from top of kettle to hood and from floor to top of brew stand. I have not made my stand yet and I am venting out the wall, so I need to be careful where I place it. Thanks again.

Here are the build dimensions for my system, then from the top of the kettles to the bottom of the hood is 20" , which is plenty of room to dough in, stir etc.

Watching with more interest. I just received non-opinionated by SWMBO property and and my brewshed (in a coupleyears) will also be 12x20 but runnig side to side instead of front to back. Looking forward to a final $# to see how much blood I need to sell

EPIC!!!

I have spent the last hour and a half reading this whole thread...Looks OUTSTANDING Ed!

Knew there was a reason why Texas folks are the best folks around...

 

[brauhausjoe]

Awesome! Just Awesome! I have a question about the cold room, I looked thought the whole post; Is the floor in the cold room insulated, or do you not need to worry about it?

 

[dzamba]

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

 

[jeff967]

Happy anniversary Ed.

 

[Kauai_Kahuna]

Bump, can we get an update. - Oh and Happy anniversary Ed.

 

[EdWort]

Thanks. I've been busy looking for work and doing honey do's like finishing the chicken coop.

 

[ieatpopkorn]

Just read through this entire thread. What an amazing project. Would love to see an update soon.

 

[dcunitedfan]

Ed, it sounds as though with the fume hood in place, you could start using the hut for indoor brewing now if you wanted, or am I overlooking something?

 

[dutch101st]

You should sticky this Ed...I have a hell of a time looking for it and besides, being an admin/mod has its priveleges.

Just hit the "My Relies" link at the top right of your page and it will take you to the page showing all topics you have replied to. If it has something new, the topic will show in bold print.

Also, I think it is in the DIY section which is easy to find as well.

 

[dannedry]

Wow... I am pretty new to this HBT and home brewing in general, but this is going to be an amazing setup! Excellent work!

"User CP" on the far left works as well.

 

[JonGoku]

It's going to be getting hot in Texas soon isn't it? Better hurry this up or you're toast, literally.

Awesome build/DIY! Looking forward to more beer porn in the near future.

[alex_wilkosz]

update? this is an amazing project, you are my hero

 

[Sunnovah]

Wow, this place looks awesome! Had to join to tell you how sweet it looks so far. Can't wait for an update!

You sir are an inspiration.

 

[Moose777]

I hope the work search is bearing fruit.
I'm brewing the second batch in as many weeks of your Haus Pale Ale..
Thanks for a great thread.

 

[Selfsufficient]

I have come to the end of the thread with a huge smile on my face. Wow, that took a long a long time and at least 3 pints. WOW, you are my hero as well. I too, live on 4 acres of land and would love to what what you are doing someday. I'm still new at this but I've got the bug and I think it is a sickness. I'm thinkin about transferring the chicken house outta the garage and makin that the brew house. Thanks for the inspiration.

Awesome set up. Just my .02 but I know little about brewing and a lot about audio. Buy something for inside and put them outside. Just make sure it is covered and bring them inside if the weather looks bad. I have $5000/pair studio monitors and settled on a pair of $150 Polk speakers for the outside. I had $600 to spend, but the outside speaker choices really leave much to be desired. I can go through four pairs before I lose money and the cheapies sound better than Bose's best offering. Stay away from Bose(great marketing campaign, little quality), and go for a nice pair of small indoor speakers. I love my 4" driver Polks. They sound great from 20', not inside studio great, but better than the $550/pair Bose outdoor I looked at. I have left them out during rain at least a dozen times over the past two years, and come home to find a puddle on top of one or both of them. No problems so far. I am positive the speakers have been through nothing more than the hardest indoor speaker conditions and they work fine. I'm not advocating Polk, just a good indoor speaker brand(i.e. Klipsch, B&W, AA) just that an outdoor speaker will not sound very good-ever. Spend less and buy more I suppose, but my Polk 4" are still going strong with good bass response down to 60hz after 2 years outside in Austin (4"!)-they do get wet-I try to minimize, but they have been soaked a number of times. I'm sure they will crap out at some point, but how long is to see. They sound better than the $550 Bose outdoor speakers I was looking at. That's around four of the speaker sets I have. Or by my experience at least 8+years. Just a new thought on a great thread, love the pics! Look forward to seeing more, and congratulations!

+10
Get some older Advents off CL or garage sale some JBL book shelf size, you will be much happier.

 

[kappclark]

+1 on speakers. No Highs, no Lows - It must be Bose

CL is good source..suggest PSB Alpha's as well..great value

 

[Reverend JC]

ED!!!

You can not still be finishing the chicken coop!?!

 

[freddyk]

I can only imagine what the chicken coop looks like. Great thread!

 

[globeboxxr]

I'm getting ready to brew my first batch of your Haus Pale Ale, Ed and I was reminded of this thread. I, like many others, spent a solid night reading the entire thread and loved it! Hope the job search and chicken coop build is going well enough for you to get back in that hut! Love it sir!
