Brewery Construction

Thanks chainsaw! The epoxy floor really finishes it off... I cannot wait to get pics.

And yes, the kostritzer cases are plastic, direct from Germany (and filled with .5L flip tops and some crown cap .5L kostritzer bottles).

Brewery Assistants!

Close up of the finished floor- Epoxy coating, with two coats of gloss sealer top coat

New heating oil tank

This tank was NEEDED in the worst way... we were lucky the old one didn't burst on us while we were working in there, that is how bad it was.

Unfortunately, the tank BUSTED the budget, so the electric work is up in the air...

That is all the pics for now. Now onto the shelving/organizing. The Brew stuff comes last.

What a transformation!! Nice work!!

looks like it's coming along nicely... can't wait to see the finished product. Any idea if you are going to install some sort of ventilation hood?

 

[cyberbackpacker]

Thanks Seabee! The plan is to actually run a domed chimney on the BK. It will run to a 4" duct out through the western wall on the north end. Total run from BK to exterior will be at most 4'

The brew rig is going to be on the north wall below the window, and the BK will be to the far left of the rig.

Posts #32-39 show the entire "transformation"!


The actual brewery still needs to get wired, ferm chambers tweaked, etc. but that has to wait for further funds.

We are pleased with the way it turned out. I will update this thread as I continue to work on it.

Really turned out nice! That epoxy floor really does make a big difference! I didn't notice in the pics, are there floor drains?

 

[cyberbackpacker]

Thanks!

And you did not miss them, there are no floor drains. That is ok with me though... if I need to, that is what the wet-dry vac is for!
