The Brewshed Begins

[MedicMike]

Subscribed. Definitely a cool idea. Can't wait to see the progress.

NICE, yours is in much better condition than mine, due to it having been bult by morons. Are you planning on finishing the inside also?

 

[matt99004]

Yes. Water and electric first, then insulation, wallboard, lighted beer signs, etc. Looking for the some used cabinets now.

Subscribed.....can't wait to see this come together! Good luck with the build!

the insulation is EXPENSIVE.. As always look on craigslist for cabinets. I have found severl that were free but I was too late. Keep in mind that thing will fill up FAST so don't make anything permanent until you are dead sure that is where you want it. I was hoping to make mine a little brew shed/ sanctuary with a small bar etc.. I don't think it is all gonna fit. I think maybe set it up almost like a kitchen with the counter and sink and cabinets.

 

[matt99004]

My plan exactly. The man cave concept sounds nice, but there would be no room for brewing.

Sadly I will be away from home, and will not be able to work on it at all this weekend. Expect more progress next week.weekly

Looking great man, can't wait to see the progress.

Subscribed, just bought a house with a crappy shed that will "need" to be replaced next summer.

I'm sorry I can't help myself " I'm a self admitted picture whore"
Give me more pic's please! I was never good with story problems.
Love this idea, I have moved to my barn but the cat I have to control rodents, due to having a mouse destroy my low ride truck interior one winter, leave their hair everywhere.
I would love to have a brew shed.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery ... second step is to have a home brew

I don't make the rules I just follow them!

Anothr small tip. we have the exact same shed it looks like . The front doors will leak like crazy. because they close up against rather than in the front, water runs down and drips into the front of the shed bad.. I think a piece of angled metal hanging over will stop it. silicone against the building. Like I said, mine was assembled by a couple of idiots so maybe yours will not have this issue.
EDITED TO ADD- after looking at yours again, it is assembled way better and differently than mine.you may not have this issue.

 

[matt99004]

Thanks for the tip anyway. I was planning on weatherstripping the doors, and will look at installing some flashing as well. How's the progress on yours going?

ugh... I have a tendency to jump into things THEN back up and look it over. I am already brewing in mine but it is not even near really ready. right now it looks like an island in the middle of a pond from all of the water we have had lol. I am lucky, we set mine up on blocks so the water ON THE GROUND is not an issue .......yet.

 

[matt99004]

Progress is slow but steady. Finally got the power hooked up in the house. I will finish the lights and fan tomorrow, and the final touches on the plumbing will be next.

 

[dannedry]

Awesome! Can't wait to see your progress. Also considering something similar... myself.

 

[matt99004]

Lights, exhaust fan and receptacles are all in. One more thing to check off the list!. Plumbing tomorrow...stay tuned.

I can't wait til I can have a brewshed/haus thing...

you should make your brew shed really nice. like put a bunch of brewing things in it and stuff. does anyone know how to make a fermented beer/wine or spirit?

Hahaha

 

[stratslinger]

I wish I had enough of a yard to justify a brew shed - these threads always make me so jealous!

Keep up the good work - looking promising so far!

 

[WillyB]

no, the brewshed is pretty awesome. It would be so sweet to have one. I hope the whole plan goes off without a hitch!

 

[william_shakes_beer]

Burned out my favorite drill, and broke the second masonry bit last night. That concrete is tough stuff. Shed will be delivered on Thursday!

Ya need a hammer drill. Rent one. It'll save your back.

This is my favorite HBT post in about 5 months of daily reading. You are the very best!!!

 

[matt99004]

Finished the plumbing yesterday, finally. Starting the insulation today. First brew session will be on the 17th, when the kids are home from college!

Wanted to attach a couple of shots from yesterday, but the app keeps crashing on my phone. I'll get to those later.

 

[matt99004]

Hey it worked anyway! You can seen the sink and buried hydrant I brought up thru the floor. The beer is my Chinook Blonde, which turned out almost like a Scotch Ale - but tasty nonetheless.

 

[matt99004]

This is not a dead thread...more coming soon!

 

[1Q84]

This is great stuff, man. Will be looking forward to see how this progresses more. Hope to have my own shack like this some day!
