It has finally been approved by SWMBO to convert our 14'X14' shed that is mostly used for junk storage to an all weather brewhaus. I plan on building a walk in cooler, have a brewing area and a bar area in it. But here is the best part: I am going to use as much recycled materials as possible in the construction. I have an idea for the flooring to reuse pallet planks over plywood to make an interesting wood floor. The roof will be replaced with scrap plywood and shingles ( i have a buddy in the construction biz ) the only new materials I will be using will be the insulation and electrical wiring. I also have plans in the future for it to become energy dependent by installing wind and solar power units to harvest the electricity.
The walk in chiller will take up approximately half of the floorspace in the building and in the bar area, i plan on having 4 taps feeding directly thru the wall. I already have a small commercial refrigeration unit ready to be installed once the rest of the shed has been prepped. There will be a storage space above the cooler for storage of brewing materials and such.
What does everyone think? I am open to suggestions, advise and encouragement on this project. Also, once it is complete, I will throw a party for forum members and we have have a few homebrews!
