Hey All!

Been a while. A quick update, i got 3 beer kits and a wine kit ill be brewing in the coming weeks.

In other news, my stainless sink I ran all the rough plumbing in, getting my friend over to splice the supply lines in two weeks.

My bilge fan in the keezer failed after a bit over 3.5 years constantly running at a low speed. The cause? Moisture/corrosion. Even with its built in resistance to water it took its toll. Specifically the brushes inside the motor wore out. New one is about $30. So $10 a year not too bad.

More new pictures to follow!

Hey all!

Pics and videos are coming. Finally scheduled some time for my friend to come over and hook up the sink! I bought $45 worth of propress fittings for the supply lines, $35 for the waste stack parts, cost of the pump which escapes me ATM, and finally the cost for my friends time with the propress tool. He only wanted $100 for the supply line work, hot water tank flush, and full furnace clean. I would have given him more, but he wouldnt accept more cash so I gave him a bottle of our home made Roscato wine 2 years old. We did splurge on a nice icelandic cod dinner my beautiful wife prepared for us.

I have some minor leaks on the sink itself i need to fix, not too difficult for me at all. Some teflon tape and pipe paste, all good.

I got a wine kit, and 3 beer kits to make. An irish red, a Hefeweizen, and a specialty S'mores porter! The wine is a Beaujolais medium body.

More updates soon promise!

Never mind

Sorry for the delay!! Here is the brewery setup. Will be working on a video on the rest of the basement. Need to stage the place with the proper lighting and all the "attractions" setup.

Here is a video tour of the basement space. I wasn't able to turn on everything and have food cooking, but I believe it gives a great representation of the overall space. The two pinball machines are Embryon and X's & O's. Both are very low production games and rare, especially the Embryon which is more sought after.

I hope to have a better representation of the setup with everything turned on cooking food etc during a party at some point. I have a few ancillary projects going on making the basement a bit cluttered.

Honestly though, all my inspiration for the entertainment area came from Pinside. The nano electric brewery came from homebrewtalks forum. Sharing in both.

Thank you all for the inspiration!

How are the CT homebrewers doing? Been busy for the upcoming holiday season! I still got a heifweisen and a S'mores Stout to make this week! That leaves two more taps to fill. Probably some sodas to mix it up from all the booze that will be on tap!

Just finished carbonating an Irish Red Ale!
