Just got a new stove...

[xCSx]

Which will never, EVER be used for homebrewing....

My kitchen walls have bubbles in the paint from the humidity...

My old stove was so filthy from wort spilling during lifting a BIAB bag...

Been outside since last year, and never going back, but now I have a clean stove too!

Hear hear!

LOL... I made the move outside 10 years ago because I was always paranoid about messing up ex-SWMBO's kitchen. Or is she now just SWMNLBO?

Anyways, new-SWMBO and I pretty much demolish the stove with all the cooking we do, so I would be much less paranoid now. Thus the stove is rarely very clean. But I much prefer the outside brewing.

I brew in the garage... I still do a lot of cleanup in the kitchen.. and have to listen to SWMBO complain about how i'm always making a mess. Isn't that what men do?

I've been doing stovetop brewing since I started, but it's time for a new stove. The Missus has agreed to let me buy a new Brewer's Edge Mash & Boil so I can keep brewing indoors without damaging the fancy new stove. Win-win.

noone in our house cares about how the stove looks, short of it being clean enough to cook on....

I just bought a bulldog brewer for ease of use and better mashing consistency.

I brew on my smooth top electric stove and its clean as when I got it.
The mess from pulling out the BIAB bag is one of the reasons I got a round cooler and put my BIAB bag in that. I do most of my brewing at night in the winter and my cozy kitchen is way better than being out in the snow, rain or wind, plus I don't have to worry about the propane running out.

Never brewed in the house, always in the garage. I would do it that way even if I was single.

Kitchen all the way - never outside. Too many cast iron tools in the garage to bring humidity in there and too much spent on climate control not to enjoy it.

I'm about to have my first outdoor brew this weekend. On one hand, I'm dreading it because being outside in Florida sucks most heinously, so the suckage will scale linearly with the length of the brew day.

But on the other hand: SO MUCH ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES. And not worrying about spills. And using a kettle that can handle the entire brew. And using a burner that can bring the wort to an actual boil. And cooling the wort before it hits the fermenter instead of just leaving it overnight. And building a brew stand that will allow me to have everything together, instead of strewn about the kitchen. And NO ELECTRIC STOVE. And nobody needing to make food/beverages/clean-to-dirty or dirty-to-clean dishes right in the middle of my brewing.

So yeah, other than that "outside in Florida" part, I'm completely psyched.

We've got a very nice gas stove in our kitchen that worked quite well when I was doing extract, but once I went all grain we went to Cabela's and got a two-burner camp stove that is beyond fantastic. My keggle and 12 gallon aluminum kettle easily fit side by side on it, it boils fast, and is easy to keep clean and the legs come off for easy storage and transportation. Not only that, since we do enjoy camping it's perfect. Even my boss with his 6 bbl system thinks it's the bomb for doing small test batches.

I'm not rich enough to have a garage, finland isn't as cheap with property as the US.
Outside of that, the outside is where mosquito's are in summer and it's -20 in winter.....
