Poolside Brewpub

BarleyNRocks · Apr 6, 2015

Well I've been lurking around here for some time but haven't really been much of a poster. This weekend I started a project I'm fairly excited about. I acquired a 16x12 shed from a friend of mine and like all my other projects it has evolved into something way more expensive and complicated. (Must be the German part of me coming through) anyhow heres where I'm going with the build and I'll try to keep this updated as I go.

Looks like a great endeavor! Hope it all works out well and doesn't kill your wallet too much! :mug:

Yeah it will be a little work but this isn't my first rodeo, I'm a commercial GC and I grew up building decks and working construction with my dad. In fact I built the deck in the picture in less than a month and 2 weeks was spent just on those damn stairs.

As a bonus to pool side brewing, when it comes time to chill all you have to do is go for a dip and take you're pot with you! (I actually have a friend that does that with his brew!!)

If it weren't for the fact that in the summer time my pool temps average around 80 that may not be a bad idea.

Here is a better sketch of the shed itself. It currently has an opening for a 12'x8' garage door. I am removing 2 panels and building the opening up to 42" and installing a white Quartz bar top (complements of gubment demo aka your tax money) the roof will be a powder coated grey metal roof over hanging the bar area by about 4'. I am running a 100amp sub panel to run the lighting refrigeration and to catch the hot tub.

Just thinking.... how about a small cellar for aging brew, etc...?

BarleyNRocks · Apr 6, 2015

My basement door is only like 10 feet where the shed entrance will be and my laundry room stays a fairly consistent 60* year round so I just age in there.

Ran out of day light but I got the deck extension framed out. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1428369680.405000.jpg

Yesterday a lot of time was spent bickering and tweaking the layout. Decided to move the hot tub off the platform to make more room for a seating area. The only picture I snaped yesterday was of my pops working as I was checking into Untapped for national beer day. I did find a nice full size fridge only unit on Craigslist for the keezer for $50 so that was productive. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1428490405.991798.jpg

A kick ass pool and free beer?!!!

Honey! Drop the kids off at your mother's! We're going to Maryland!!!

Let me call my boss real quick so I can tell him to go to hell...

Well it's been doing a lot of raining here the past couple days so not much progress. I did however basically steal this full height refrigerator off Craigslist for $50. It looks like I will be able to fit 5 kegs and have plenty of room for other pool side refreshments. It's not going to be easy leaving my old kegorator in the garage to retire into a domesticated Lifestyle but this thing just makes way more since and being a refrigerator I don't have to deal with a useless freezer or external temperature controls.

Thanks! I added a second tap a couple weeks ago and didn't want to use a commercial tap handle for my Home brew. I had some pistons laying around from an incomplete set I acquired so, 10 min a drill bit and a tread tap BAM! I created my favorite tap handle. when my new logo stickers come in next week in going to stick one to a thin piece of metal and mount it in the center.

Need to put in a pool so I can subsequently build one of these...

Cool project, looking forward to seeing the progress.

BarleyNRocks · Apr 11, 2015

It may not look like much but we got a ton done today. Finished framing the deck extension and started on the decking. We also got the footers for the Brew Shed laid out, dug and poured. Tomorrow I hope to have the decking complete and the shed platform framed up.

Almost forgot. The interior walls are going to be insulated than paneled with pallet boards, so I picked up a couple.

Living the dream, Man. Keep posting photos for us to drool over, especially when summer and the bikinis hit the brewpub!

BarleyNRocks · Apr 11, 2015

Thanks guys! Target date up be up and running is Memorial Day weekend. I'll be sure to include pics of its payoff.

Got another good work day in. The brew shed platform is all framed up. And I'm dead. It looks like rain for the next two days so I'll get a bit of a break. Next up is shed flooring and raising walls.
