Building brew house in basement ( long term build) and would love opinions.

[Redpappy]

More I thought about this, I have decided to start with my sink and go from there on my build. I got my temp wall, cabinets, sink, installed. Having water is so nice. No more going up and down stairs with a 5 gal bucket to bring water down stairs to do my cleaning. I do plan on putting up a back splash ( https://www.lowes.com/pd/48-in-x-8-ft-Embossed-White-Wall-Panel/1000174771) just in case i do something goofy and splash water. When I did my cold water I added a T, so that I can have one valve for my sink, and one for a hose bibb. I was considering just putting in a 1/4, but figured I could not add to it. So I went with the hose bibb, and if I do need anther line, i could just add a Y to it. (thanks for the idea @mongoose33). I figured for the most part, I will be just dumping water, and maybe a little bit of soap down the drain, so I took my sink drain and ran it to my sump pump. For now, all my yeast cake and trubb will either be carried outside in a bucket or i will dump it in a drain that goes to my septic.

Now that I have my water in, my next project is figuring out my electric. Before I start running my wire, I am looking at controllers. I am kinda stuck on this, just because I'm not sure If i should go with a table top controller (https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=64_65&products_id=770) or a wall mounted. If I go with a mounted, i think i will need to add another small portion to my temp wall, going from the existing one over to my center beam, roughly adding 24" to the wall. That way I have the space to mount it.


This is the space that will eventually be my brew stand(movable) and where my electric for my controller will be going.

I got my electric outlet put in, and everything needed to start brewing indoors. Got to love the OT...Sometimes. I am planning to redesign my brew stand to fit my needs, but for now, I will be using my old one that I used for propane. I am thinking of dropping my (what I call) crane by 6 inches, just so that it will be a little bit easier to drop my bag when i am done squeezing it.
The steam slayer wide body is working like a charm, water is a little brown, no real smell that I was thinking (from what i have read). From the humidity reading, my basement only rose 3% during the entire process(from mash to fermentor). and most of it was from when I added my IC.

Im a little torn on what the next project should be. As of right now, i can brew in my basement with what I have. I am considering getting a RO system ( talking with Russ (buckeye_hydro))
