Brewshed Build

[mi6op]

He bought a couple sheets of plywood for the bar frame then to make the curvature with the finished top, he took 4" wide chunks of wood and laid them at a 45* angle .

Hope that helps, I'm not much of a woodworker.

too small of a space

Got the hood installed.

The wood has been stained and finished. I bought kilned rough sawed Wormy Maple from a Sawmill near me. My friend Dan (who essentially has done the whole build) built the doors you see from scratch. Should have all the bar done and all the trim installed as well this weekend.

Sweet building, mate. I'm looking forward to building something similar one day in the future (read: distant future lol).

no time + no money + no skill = jealous.

looks great!

Bar is 90% finished. Hanging doors and trim the next couple of days. My Brewsteel stand should be here in a couple weeks or so. This plan has about come together!

Just saw this thread today for the first time. Looks Amazing! That's more like a manpalace than a mancave.

Good luck with it. Looking forward to seeing the installed brew system.

Killer job, this looks great!

So it's been quite awhile since I updated. Pretty much everything was finished in the Winter/early Spring. And I got my system up and running in Early August. So I finally decided I should get some pics for you guys and show you what the finished product is.

Here's the Kegerator, which is your standard 7cf chest freezer with the same wood that we used else where in the bar encasing it. It can hold 7kegs at once totally full. I plan on no more than 5 taps going at once in there and have a 5 regulator manifold in order to have each keg at its own pressure. I also plummed in a 2 tap manifold if I want to simply force carb a keg in there at the pressure from my main tank ~28psi which is in the storage closet across the room.

That looks awesome.. talk about a man cave!

 

[Hello]

That is absolutely awesome. A bar, a place to chill, and a place to brew!

One question, with the wood surrounding the chest freezer does it cause any issues with cooling? I read that people keep them open for airflow but maybe that is wrong.
I figured you would know since you've been running it for a while now.

I'd move my pillow and sleeping bag into that badboy and I'd never be seen or heard from again! Very nice work my friend!

 

[BDsnakey]

You can't see it in the picture but the airflow area for the keezer is on the lower left side of the unit. Which also is against the wall. The case of the keezer does not cover it and it is open to vent just like if it was sittting as a freezer in your basement.
