Where do you brew?

[DrunkleJon]

Ok. CO I can understand, but I don't see the risk of fire being any greater than with gas burners on a stove.

I have almost knocked my lit burner over when slinging a heavy pot of water that I hadnt lifted high enough into it. I am just cautious, Wouldn't want the burner in the house, I do not mind using it in the garage (door open), but I like to keep a nice clear work area around it. In my opinion t is easier to sweep something flammable over the flame of a burner than that of a stove.

In the brewery, of course!


My wife calls it the kitchen. :cross:

Silly wife. lol

On the deck out back. We have a fairly big one for an apartment, since we're on the 1st floor. I appropriate the table and chairs to facilitate my brewing and all. One day I will have a brew house...one day.

Used to brew inside when I was living in apartments, but now that I have a house, I brew on the front porch. Very much an upgrade!

I just bought a house. I used to brew in the kitchen on the coil stove but now I have a nice backyard. My plans are to just brew in the backyard. However, I do have a nice backyard shed that has electricity and ac, but no running water. My plans were to turn that into my fermenting room.

On my back deck because the view out front isn't this.

That is awesome.

I brew in the garage with the doors wide open, and I do that whether it's 80F or 0F. And the view of the park across the street isnt too bad.

Pretty hi-tech. Under a tree so the pizza screen. Sheet of scrap plywood and a piece of cement board to level the pot. And of course, the handy-dandy dowel rod measuring stick for my two kettles. The green chair is where the wife orchestrates from.

That is not too difficult of a plumbing job. Nice brew shed though.

I wouldn't know where to begin with a plumbing job like that. But yes, it's 12x22 so it will definitely be a nice place to birth some beers. I love the fact that there is electricity in it so I can setup some temp controlled chest freezers and let them sit out of the way.

With trees growing out of those hills & the shape,I wonder if they're native burial mounds?

 

[JonM]

^ doubt it. This is a municipal park in the middle of a suburb that was formed as a company town for the Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co. I think it's just a sledding hill built out of fill.

 

[unionrdr]

I wondered since we have parks in southern Ohio with burial mounds in them. The huge Newark mound site is a golf course,just to preserve it.

 

[Begin2Brew]

In my basement.

 

[groundchuck]

In the garage. It gives more space for moving around and we normally grill some food while we are at it.

 

[HopHead_32]

On the patio... If we move hopefully will have a garage

 

[whitehause]

The porch....

 

[jpeebs]

Just moved into a new house with a workshop off the garage that I'm turning into a brewery. Only had one brewday in it so far but I love it.

 

[troy2000]

At work... on my own time, of course.

I work at a compressor station in the middle of the California desert along the Colorado River, that brings natural gas from out of state and sends it on to the urban areas. When it was built in 1948, the company needed some incentives to convince people to relocate (we're talking pre-central A/C). Among the perks included with company housing were a swimming pool, and a complete outdoor kitchen under a roof next to it...

If you fire up one of those commercial stove burners, it'll bring five gallons to a boil with no problem. And the deep sinks are a perfect place to cool off the wort after the boil, expecially since we have 3 separate ice machines on the premises.
