My wife suggested a few days ago, "Hey, when we put the addition on the house in a couple of years, since we are moving the laundry to the new mud room in the addition...why don't you convert the old laundry room to a brewing room"
Who are you and what have you done with my wife!
So now I am trying to work through a boat load of ideas for it. I am thinking a HERMS system. I've got 240V 30A and 120V 15A power there and if I need more power for some crazy reason the basement breaker box is 10ft away and its unfinished ceiling. I've got water and I've got ventillation already.
The space isn't big, only 8x10ft, but I figure that should be enough for a good HERMS system as well as washout/water supply. Probably even enough space to fit a fairly comfortable chair or bench (since you have to walk through the room to the rest of my basement storage area, I am thinking maybe a fold down padded bench). I can't help thinking TV/stereo for some company while brewing...but to be honest, if I really need TV, my basement entertainment center is right through the door from the current laundry room, not more than 25 feet away.
Stereo would be nice though.
Now just to resist from actually looking at HERMS systems and new kettles, stands, etc. I guess realistically I should BUILD the darned addition FIRST and then plot out my ultimate brew room.
