Where do you brew?

I chose #3, because all I do is wheel it to the edge of the garage and brew, but I guess that means I should have chosen #2. I brew small 2.5 gallon batches, and I don't sparge. This set up is a piece of cake. I brew in about 3.5 hours, and bottling is quick with only 20 or so bottles to fill.

in the garage, some of my equipment is stored there, and some in the basement, a pain to be sure.

Not dedicated to only brewing, but plenty room for brewing,drinking, cooking,eating and whateverelse you like.

That is an interesting picture. The Fluer De Leis and the door that goes to ... nowhere? Nice digs. My kitchen is tiny.

My wife wants to remodel. 'm thinking - OK make it more useful for brewing.

We need a bif sink for cleaning all of the pots and other stuff. A bullet proof counter would be nice too

Water heater,air condioner,ect.
We get so many comments on the door.

Just bought a SP50 burner, a 9 gallon kettle, and started doing full wort boils about 4-5 batches ago :rockin: so I'm on the back porch under a 10x20 party tent we set up over our deck for the summer. We'll have to see what happens in the Michigan winter. I may have to clear out our little shed!

I'm so jealous of everyone who doesn't brew in a tiny apartment on an electric stovetop!

Started on our deck but that has changed now to the in-laws deck by the pool 10mins away, that way when its too hot I can jump in and cool off.

I'm a kitchen dweller...I do 5 gallon AG batches on an electric stove with full boils. The biggest downsides in my setup:

1. It takes awhile to get all the equipment out of storage closets.
2. Dripping liquid on the floor (luckily I have concrete floors)
3. Low flow out of the kitchen sink due to an inline charcoal cartridge filter on the cold side.
4. Steam from the kettle tends to overwhelm the microwave hood, so I have to keep a towel on hand to catch the condensation.

Outside, back yard.

I live in an apartment, so I'm stuck in my dinky little kitchen with my dinky little stove for the time being.

The 3rd car garage is as "dedicated to brewing" as you can get as I have my chest freezer, kegerator, and other equipment in there. I do share the space with my 2 cats, but I decided to consider them "assistant brewers" and chose option 4.

Depends on the beer, time of year, number of yellow jackets, and right now trying to not freak the barn swallows that have clutched on the patio too much. They catch yellow jackets and feed them to the chicks.

I'm stuck brewing outside until I can build a little brew house outside. I just hate moving all my equipment from the basement to the rear deck every week.

I hate yellow Jackets.... Need me some barn swallows.

I'm rocking 3 gallon All-Grain and Partial Mash batches in my kitchen. It's one of the easyest places in the house to clean, and it already has gas and water.

To say I'm lazy ignores the fact that I also don't like being outside.
