Oh how i would love a keggerator that big. Is that a fridge or upright freezer?

 

[Atown]

Upright freezer. I can fit 12 5gal cornys 100 bucks on CL. Althought i junked my last one by hitting the cooling coil when drilling for the co2 lines. So it really cost more like 250...

I love when people tell the truth about how much things cost. Kudos. I've done the exact same thing only with minifridges....

Love all of these, man i cant believe you scored that style and size freezer for 100.00. Here in canada those are upwards of 400.00 used and about 800.00 new. Thesomeguy-is that an ss brand fermenter? I wanna get one soooo bad but its not even in the distant horizon

 

[sbartelski]

I wanna see some pics of your home pubs or brewing areas for some inspiration and ideas for my next big project!

and yes, that is a Mr. Beer kit. You have to start somewhere. led me to the PicoBrew Zymatic

 

[Atown]

I love the Garage floor. As for how much iv spent... Yea.... Im in the almost 1k range... With what seems like little to show for it. Going all ss of just the keg setup gets crazy expensive.

 

[Atown]

Oh and all my lumber was free.

 

[jstringer1983]

Yeah ive got at least a grand invested and pretty meager equip. To show for it. My imagination stretches further than my wallet lol, now im mad that i dont have a fully electric ss setup. I should just be happy that i have what i need to churn out great craft beers for myself and friends

Yeah its the 7 gallon Chronical, I built the cabinet to store it in. I also purchased the FTSS to go with it, have yet to use it though it arrived just before I deployed again. Counting down the days until October.

 

[jstringer1983]

Cool, that cabinet could be made into an awesome temp controlled chamber

 

[bbohanon]

My lair/brewery journey is in my autosig. It was a 6 month project but well worth it.

 

[Thesomeguy]

Its an option if my wife takes my Freezer away haha, I need more room than I built into the cabinet for my kegs and cooling/warming water bucket for FTSS

Here is my side by side touched up with chalkboard paint, cedar shims and stain.

I put together a slideshow/video of my man cave/brewery that I finally finished today. I used a bunch of pics I took from the beginning till today. With a lil video at the end with upcoming events. Gonna be a busy week for videos, if my batteries hold out...

[unionrdr]

I definitely want to do another video tomorrow. Maybe one or two more? But it'll be maybe next month before the mumme' video...

 

[unionrdr]

Yesterday, I finally got those coasters from around the world I'd mounted in a poster frame hung on the wall above the desk. Gotta DE label my bottle collection as much as possible to do the same with the labels.

 

[HOPME]

My home bar / man cave. It's an old pic, much more crap on the walls now, just don't have any more recent pic of it.

 

[jbhollis1180]

I have a small corner of my basement, next to the laundry room with slop sink for easy cleanup, transfers, and bottling. I also insulated a closet for fermentation and will be installing a cooling unit from a small wine cooler shortly. Its small but convenient and functional. Right now all brewing is done outside in the detached garage. Eventually I will renovate the garage to be my home brewery.

It is, and probably always will be, a work in progress. I had the prep table for 15+ years. I got it from a thrift store for less then scrap metal prices. The prior owner used it for deer processing and closed his shop. The sink has been around for about 6 years, upside down in the back yard waiting for its new home. That came from a farmer who used it in his stable to clean horse tack. With a little bit of work, I was able to clean it up quite well. Gotta love stainless.

Just remodeled my brewery. A few days later, I scored some stainless elevator doors that will become my new counter top and shelf. Will update when that's done.

 

[Premnasbiaculeatus]

Here's some shots of my brewery in action. My wife thinks this is the laundry room for some reason... not sure why?

Here's my sweet little Kegerator.

Couldn't find a good shot of the entire bar but here's me standing behind it talking some trash about Mr. Beer.

Here's a youtube video from 4.5 years ago (when I first set everything up) not many stickers, posters, or regalia but it gives one a gist of the Brewcave layout as it still exists today.
