Brewing Shed

[tally350z]

Havent been able to brew in a while and now I'm building a brewing shed so I can get back into it. Total size is a 12x20, the left side will be for brewing and brewing storage. That room is 15x12. The right side is going to be for yard tools and tool storage, 5x12.
I'll be posting more pictures when I am able. It's been a slower process then I would like but I should be done with the roof soon.

Now that's commitment!

As functional as my ~200 square foot slice of the house has been for my humble brewery it is not without issues (eg: blessed with hardwood parquet floors and sheet rocked walls, neither of which are fond of splashed fluids). I'd love a wash-down space with floor drains and the works but that's just a dream...

Cheers!

I’ve been kicking this around, so I’ll be looking forward to your progress updates!

Subscribed! Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Nice! Will be checking your progress.

I built a 200 sq ft shed for woodworking 12 years ago, so seeing this brings back fond memories.

Happy to help!

My city limits outbuildings in my zoning (R-1) to 200 sq. ft., so I did a 10'x20' shed. I built mine on a poured concrete slab and installed a 3/4" marine plywood flooring on 2x2 furring with 1-1/2" foam board insulation beneath the plywood (it's Minnesota). Since my shed was for woodworking, I didn't need interior walls to endure moisture, so I used ordinary 1/2" plywood. I did insulate the walls with R-13 craft-faced fiberglass and covered the fiberglass batts with 4 mil poly right over the studs inside. Tallahassee winters are certainly warmer than here, but don't know if you plan to insulate the walls. I suppose it gets chilly there some days in winter? I assume you will finish your interior walls with something moisture-resistant, like green drywall or cement board?

I bought off-the shelf 12' trusses for the roof, placing them 16" o.c. And I insulated above the ceiling.

I installed a subpanel in the shed with a 60A breaker in the main box feeding it. I have a 5000 BTU window ac for summer and a 5000W 240V elec heater for winter. That little heater will keep it around 65 on all but the coldest days.

If you have any questions along the way, feel free to PM me, as I check HBT often.

Looking good! Any plans for plumbing?

Looking good! Any plans for plumbing?

Currently I only plan on running a garden hose only for cooling purposes. I use RO water from the store. I might get a plumber to estimate what it would cost to run both plumbing and sewer, I have a feeling the sewer is going to be costly since it would have to run all the way to the front of the house to tie in.

Consider a French drain?

Consider a French drain?

Yes I have. When I built the floor joists I have a section marked out where the French drain would go. My original thought was to just drain it into a drainage area behind the shed filled with rocks and such.

Awesome

 

[SEndorf]

Very cool. Keep us updated.

 

[GnenieGone]

Kinda jelly! Mine will be only 8x10. I'm on a slope so water run off ends up in the azzhole neighbors back yard! [emoji3] Keep us posted.
