Brewshed Build

[mi6op]

So I was originally going to build a building near my pool as a poolhouse/brewery build. But there was a lot of unnecessary work involved and I had a pole building in the back yard that was a great candidate. So we've been spending time renovating it this past summer and fall. Uploading pictures is a pain so I'll do my best to get things up to date.

Originally there were steps inside to the upstairs attic. To increase space we ripped those steps out and built a set on the outside.

Early views of what will one day become a bar. And the water lines. We dug up the original frost free spigot and tied the water in for full time h20 to the building. My friend said he could make a curved bar so we will roll with it and see how it works out.

Ran a separate 200A service and Nat Gas to the building

Insulation in and the beginnings of the bar showing.

Got the building staind (what I can figure can be the 1st since it was built probably 13 years ago.) Also decided to take out the 2nd garage door this year instead of next and replace it with a french door. I was hedging my bets on a place to park a mower etc. But I will find a place to cram it somewhere.

Also got drywall hung and the ceiling stomped. The back wall ,which is where a door is leaning, is where the brewstand will be. I'm getting a hood built for above it and will be tiling the wall.

I thought I had a picture showing a hot water line to above the kettle height for filling. In the pic you will see a drain in the wall for the used heat exchanging water as well as a cold water in.

I love these bar build threads!

So, you'll eventually turn the loft into accommodation for bar visitors???

It would take some doing but it could be that. However, I need a place to throw all my junk so that has been "promoted" as the place.

Definitely keep some junk storage space. Everybody needs a good junk storage space. We have a completely finished basement and we left a nano storage area. So now, I have a three car garage and can barely get two cars in. BTW, the building is looking great. Will you have some heat/air in there?

My friend works in HVAC and I'm getting some type of dual unit. I'll give more info once it's installed. I'm also putting in a tankless water heater.

I wish I had the room in my backyard for a building!

Been making some progress. As you can see the walls are painted and the tile on the back wall is up. It still needs wiped down more to get the grout dust off. The wood for the trim and bar is at the finisher to get finished and stained.

The hood is actually installed and just needs a couple more things done to be hooked up. I'll post pics of that later.

Words can't express how much I want.

Yes in the last pic you'll see an audio speaker in the ceiling and against the orange wall I have Direct TV plumed in just waiting on a TV.
