My new Brewery and Alehouse-Shed (Brewing Porn )

[mrbowenz]

I have been working on this for the past 6 months, 95% completed, just a few punch list items to finish up, thought I would share some of the goodies:

Stats: 4 refigerators, 2 sinks, a dishwasher and mean ass brewing system:

I am a british beer nut , and just nuts ( so says SWMBO ...)


The Pub :

Is this a separate unit outside of your home? If so, please let me know how you sold this idea to your wife, so that I can give it a shot with mine.

EDIT - oh wow, the other pics are up now. Can I please have your address so that I can rob you blind?

 

[Hugh_Jass]

btw-What wood is the bar made of?

This is a 24' x 14' shed on a property I bought back in July 08, the property is about 10 minutes from home. I would buy your wife what ever it is she wants for years before trying this type of stunt .

It's just a piece of brich ply, I picked thru a stack at Lowe's till I found one with heavy spalting ( a naturally occuring defect ) .

 

[flyangler18]

WOW. That, my good man, is beyond awesome. I look forward to chatting with you about the particulars on Sunday!

 

[Blender]

Boy, that looks fantastic. One of the best I have seen.

 

[Hilbert]

Amazing! I am truely jealous. Any outside shots of the building?

Throw in a poker table and it'll be perfect.

 

[lustreking]

You made a lot of progress in a week. It looks GREAT!

 

[wildwest450]

Holy brew sheds, what's up with all the over the top kick ass brew rigs showing up here lately? For overall presentation, you sir, win. That kitchen/brew shed is tits, plain and simple.




What in the hell do you guy's do for a living?

 

[Jewrican]

HOLY ****! That thing is awesome!!!

 

[jcdillin]

mofugger, that is amazing..

 

[chumprock]

What in the hell do you guy's do for a living?

...And how do I start?!

 

[Desert_Sky]

ok, it's official


I hate you

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Very, very nice!

 

[keiths]

Nice !! But all that and only 3 taps?

 

[Memorex88]

That's one great looking bar! Very jealous. Still working on mine and you've given me some ideas. Thanks for sharing

 

[Gordie]

Wow...

...that must have taken you all afternoon... I'm forwarding this to SWMBO in an effort to manage her expectations of my brewing "hobby".

Hey - Ohiobrewtus - where do you get those avatar pics?

 

[farmbrewernw]

Dang and I thought I was serious about brewing, looks to me like you could go into the biz. I to would like to know what you do for a living because obviously I'm doing the wrong thing.

 

[nathan]

nice!
I can't wait to be settled in to a permanent house so I can do serious finish work on a brewery space. Right now I'm spoiled with a raw 900 square foot, water, power, etc., in a building that is mine all mine, but I can't make any permanent additions since I hope to sell it in the spring and don't want to pay for things I cannot take with me.

Looks like you have been working the restaurant auctions or some other way of scoring the stainless sink, backsplash, hood, restaurant grade viking fridge, etc...

 

[p4ck37p1mp]

Wow, you've just upgraded my plans. Nice Fullers London Pride handle, love that beer.

 

[humann_brewing]

So we still haven't found out what you do to afford this. Where do we sign up?

 

[njnear76]

Don't go into engineering or live in NJ. I'm doing it so wrong.

/Brewing area is so bare bones it hurts.
//Don't have a bar yet either.
///No kegerator.
////Only have a 3 gallon carboy and 6 gallon better bottle.
/////No longer feel so bad about buying a pump for wort cooling and another better bottle soon.

 

[Jaybird]

WOW!!!!! Simply WOW! :rockin::rockin::rockin::rockin:

 

[MoRoToRiUm]

I am in awe my good sir- Well done!

Wait flyangler gets to be in your presence and regal in your beautiful labor, and I don't!?!? *CURSE YOU BREW GODS!*






I take that back I was only joking; Don't want to jinx my clean streak!

 

[mrbowenz]

WOW. That, my good man, is beyond awesome. I look forward to chatting with you about the particulars on Sunday!

Your gonna hate me even more, because my brewshed property is on a trophy trout designated stream, my property has almost 200' of frontage on a stream loaded with big trout ......I have a cottage and another shed on this tract.

 

[mrbowenz]

Thanks for all the well wishes and (hatred ...) ,I have collected a bunch of stuff over the past 20 years for this place, I also have some really great friends who helped out . The downside to these projects is the lack of brewing time, but with it almost finished, I can't wait to dig in and start cranking out some serious beer again.

 

[brewt00l]

Now that's a shed!

Where about's are you w/ the stream? Stocked or natural habitat?

 

[mrbowenz]

Both , but plently of natives:

 

[brewt00l]

Nice! Better than anything I've pulled from silver creek.

 

[ScubaSteve]

That's great....I really like the attention to detail. I've always been a fan of the eurotanks....and I really like the crossbeam in the ceiling with the rigging. I take it you eventually plan to live on this property? Hell, if it's 10 mins from your house, I'd just move in there and rent the old one out!

 

[AnOldUR]

WOW. That, my good man, is beyond awesome. I look forward to chatting with you about the particulars on Sunday!

My vote is for meeting at mrbowenz place instead of Ship Inn.

We need directions!

 

[eschatz]

You suck.

 

[Yooper]

Awesome. When I told Bob about this, he said I can "have" the bunkhouse for myself for a project like this. I might take him up on it, in the future, but it's a seasonal building and I'd have to figure out something else for winter. It's at the lake cottage, and it's smaller than yours.

Wonderful pictures- thanks for sharing them.

 

[eriktlupus]

so you have fish and chips right there?

i so hate you right now.

 

[HEGENSCHWARTZ]

WOW, that is crazy my friend, just crazy. I want to be crazy too!!!

Are you on the Tulpehocken or Little Lehigh? I've spent many an early summer morning casting #28 trico spinners to big fat browns.

I know where I'll be this spring.
