My new Brewery and Alehouse-Shed (Brewing Porn )

[brewt00l]

Now that's a shed!

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

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!!!

 

[flyangler18]

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.

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.

Here on the Saucon you can fish a #22 trico on a 6x tippet and still catch 20 fish in a morning. That monster was caught on Cicada last summer though. The Hammersmith Alehouse and Brewery is located within the Bethlehem City limits, near Lehigh's athletic fields. close enough for a tailgate!

 

[schweaty]

That, good sir, is a thing of true beauty. Job well done! Looks like you went all out

 

[BrewBeemer]

Where's the bloody Norton signs on the wall? Man your lucky that place is better than my house, congrats and thanks for the pictures. Now do some brewing.

 

[kal]

Fantastic setup! Congrats and enjoy! Stop reading posts and go make beer instead...

[BrewinJack]

has anyone ever told you that they hate you purely because you are far more fortuante then they are??? Well i would, but that sounds to violent... i am jus tin awe... except i am not much of a brit beer guy... still i would give the 3rd most important part of my body for that... lucky lucky brewer..

cheers

 

[JoeMama]

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

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

AWESOME! LOL

I guess I worked in reverse - I built 2 poker tables long before I got into homebrewing. Slowly but surely, my mancave is becoming just that - MY mancave.

I still have to share it with all of my daughters toys though. (Maybe when she gets to teenhood all of that **** can go away and I can truly make it my very own!

Freakin Awesome! I feel so inadequate with an incomplete 12'x20' brew shed.

I hope to be brewing in it next month, but funds are tight right now.

Great job!

"Funds are tight" wow Ed you hit that one dead center. I would be happy with just an 8' x 8' storage shed for brewing equipment in my back yard.
Land sold by the sq/ft on the island.

 

[StoutFan]

I believe that this is one of my favorite home bars I have ever seen. Very pub like, can't forget the darts! Very nice.

 

[Yankeehillbrewer]

Well Done!! and Congrats

 

[oscareyes]

Just Beautifull!!!!!!


Congratlations:rockin:

 

[kcinpdx]

This gets me thinking - I have a 400 sq ft studio on our property that is finished - except no water supply. We have a sewer line running under it, so running a supply shouldn't be too hard. I could move my entire operation out there.....

if this doesnt warm up the building dont know what will.

I ran a line from a hose spigot supply one the house across under the yard to surface at a yard hydrant next to my garage. They are safe for freezing conditions as they drain out when you shut them off. I have a cover and a hole to pull out a hose to the hydrant and that hose supplies a manifold inside that sends water to my utility sink and my sprayer hose (which has two filter housings so I can prefilter and carbon filter my well water, city users can probably just carbon filter).

I have pics in my album.

Easy way to supply water to your shed.

 

[Reverend JC]

Wow. Wow.

I do not feel like working on my bar now. Why even finish it after seeing that.

That's almost exactly what I did, except I ran it to a 50 gallon hot water heater too !!!!!, I love hot water .......

Finish it , it's no big deal . then post some pix!

 

[jjmeldrum]

What an amazing brewery..Oneday I could only be as lucky to have half of that. CONGRATS

 

[nathan]

Mr bowenz,
do you drain your water heater when you won't be around using it for a while? I only really brew every other weekend now and wouldn't want to run one for 2 weeks for no reason but to avoid freezing pipes...


I've thought of going on-demand hot water, but the electric ones don't look all that great for the price yet and I don't have gas service.

I do drain it if I am not brewing for more than a week, which during construction has been the case, although it really doesn't hurt . I do have heating and airconditioning in the brewery, so freezing hasn't been an issue yet, eventhough here in the northeast it's been a really cold January.
