Input on home brewpub

[eschatz]

Ok, that's freaking awesome. That sink is the bomb. This thread is subscribed! I'll be watching this one.

This is going to be great I have a sunporch on my house, but lack the know-how to do what you're doing.

Is Millican your name? Mine's Milligan, and in doing some ancestry research it seems they are all one in the same. O'Maolagain seems to be the horny mofo that started it all

Regardless, your brewpub build gets an a+ for even the idea!

The electrician came this morning...

 

[Belmont]

The boxes are for countertop outlets and the three wires at the top of the back wall are for lighting over the bar. That is going to be mirror surfaced with glass shelving over it. The sign will be in the center over the keezer with the middle light shining on it.

Wow, very cool! Subscribed...can't wait to see this take shape.

 

[dagamore]

very cool.

 

[NoisufnoC]

looking awesome. subscribed.

can you brew indoors with natural gas?

 

[Belmont]

Many people cook with natural gas indoors every day using gas stoves. I will need a vent hood but it is certainly possible.

Today they installed insulation and drywall on the back wall. I talked to some coworkers about the project and may be getting a good deal on an air conditioner. I'm hoping we'll start getting the cabinets and counter tops installed soon. I'm still waiting on my burner equipment since the natural gas valve is on backorder at norther brewer.

Still looking for collar ideas? This one is quite nice...

 

[Belmont]

I need the handles on the front. I think I have this figured out after talking to the carpenter. I'm still not sure about what material to use for the bar top. We're thinking either rounded off 5/4" oak or rigging up plywood and a hand rail. Work on the cabinets should start soon. I think we got them all figured out.

My hurricane burners came in today.

And here is the progress that has been made from this morning to lunch time. Just some of the cabinet framing. I'll post another pic tonight showing what's done by end of day.

 

[brrman]

Looking better with every post!

 

[Belmont]

Ok. This is the end of the day.

Ok. This is the end of the day.

 

[Belmont]

Not having any luck here. Maybe too many homebrews tonight. Let me try again.

 

[Belmont]

Here's what has been done as of today's lunch break:

 

[TwoHeadsBrewing]

Damn! nice work man, and thanks for sharing!

 

[bendavanza]

Nice work, that is going to be a sweet brew space!

 

[Belmont]

Carpentry is finished now. Need to stain, install sink, and build collar on keezer.

 

[HSM]

I'm a hot tub brewer as well. There are windows along 2 walls and a vent fan, no worries of CO2. I guess when we decide to fill it again I'll have to re-do my "tier" system.

 

[dannedry]

Holy cow, looking amazing! Nice cabinetry skills! I am considering putting an addition onto my house for a hot tub room, so that I can then turn it into a pub / brew room myself. Very very nice. This thread is my first subscription. Thanks for all the photos, and keep up the good work!

 

[Belmont]

You guys are giving me too much credit. Probably because I put this in the DIY forum mistakenly. I contracted this work out and these guys did an awesome job. I am the least handy guy I know. DIY is pretty much a joke if it involves me. I am going to build the collar on my keezer though.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Carpentry is finished now. Need to stain, install sink, and build collar on keezer.

Don't know if you thought of this and/or made plans for it, but is there any openings around your freezer for airflow? hate to see you burn up the giant freezer built into everything.

 

[Belmont]

The vent on the freezer is at the bottom on the left. We cut out the cabinet there to let it breath into there.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Good Deal.

 

[Belmont]

Ok. We have stain and countertops as well as the mirror and glass shelving. Plumber comes tomorrow and electrician Saturday. I'm going to work on the collar tomorrow as well.

 

[mphilippovic]

Nice looking bar Belmont. I see a place for my keester right on the corner. Can't wait to come over and help test it out.
