I am working on plans for a basement brewery as well. What material did you use for the back splash on the wall behind your kegs? I want to make sure whatever I place back there lasts awhile.

Trying to show the whole brewery/basement in one picture.

You should be very proud of your setup and hard work!

Based on the fact that he used spacers, I would say he used porcelain or ceramic tiles, similar to what you'd see in many kitchens or bathrooms (on the wall or floor).

FWIW, porcelain is a denser, less porous and harder option that offers greater stain and water resistance than ceramic. While I've always gone with quality porcelain, on a wall like this you're not going to get much of anything touching the tile. Any water that hits tile will be minimal and will run right off. If this was a shower then definitely go with a better porcelain tile. Be aware that there are varying grades or qualities of both (it's not entirely black and white). Some of the $1/sq foot stuff you can get at the big box stores is much softer/more porous - look at the hardness rating. YMMV.

Wow, this is very nice. I wish i could get something like that going in my basement.
But i know exactly what would happen.
I would scrimp and save for five years to come up with the cash.
Finally get it built after another year.
Brew one batch, and the literal second that first batch hits the fermenter i will be looking at a work transfer...
