LP Burner in the garage for winter brewing....

[balrog]

Brew in garage all the time, year round (Massachusetts), door closed, small garage window usually closed but sometimes open when it's hot out; entrance side door usually open.

Thing is, I don't park myself out there. "Brewing is a several hours of boredom punctuated by a few periods of panic" after all (citation unknown). And if you've brewed a few times you know you have 18 minutes after starting the heat before strike temp reached, or 12 minutes after pulling BIAB bag starting heat before boil over (NEVER EVER EVER WAIT 13 minutes to check -- EVER). SO I go back inside and start siphoning the last batch, or get a cup of coffee, or rearrange my paperclip collection.

I used to make it a point to brew on the coldest day possible here in Michigan. My record brew day was -15°F. Bundle up, open the garage door and fire that thing up. Make a big barleywine and treat yourself to a hot scotchy!

I brew in my garage so the time. My 2 burner setup is close to the door. The door is open about 6-8" (16' x 7'), I also have a window, and a separate entry door I'll crack open in the cold. I'll set up a folding table next to my burner to hold my other brew gear, supplies, grains, hops, ect.... I try to think ahead and get everything in place, cleaned prior to brewing. For a 5 gallon batch I'll have 8 gallons of water ready to go in gallon jugs. So far no issues. Oh, and for chilling in the winter I'll use the laundry room of the garage for my chilling water. I put a Y adapter on my cold water Port.

For cleaning after,I added a slop sink in my basement to make things easier.
