Ag Brewing Newbie

[Mitcho]

Ok.

I am building a new house with the missus in Williamstown, SA (beautiful part of the South Barossa), which I plan to build a shed/bar onto the block (out of 1050m2 I get a whole shed!!!). Anyway, I am thinking of incorporating a bit of a brewery into this shed.

My question is, I have only been doing K and K's at the moment but am keen to set up the equipment to start AG brews.

Would anyone be willing to let me observe them doing a brew to see what's involved (long bow I'm sure....)

Williamstown is a top spot, would have loved to have got a bit of land up there but was a bit too far from the city for my liking.

As for setting up AG I'm sure Dr Smurto will inform you, but it is a lot easier than you think. Jump on youtube to see the process thats what coverted me because seeing a video is just like observing someones brewday.

Good luck with the setup of your shed/brewery!

Really looking forward to getting set up in Williamstown, it really is a beautiful little hamlet to live in. We bought in the new estate and got a decent sized piece of land.

C_west, I looked up a few videos on YouTube last night before I posted this original post, and I saw it didn't look as difficult as I first thought and thought I'd ask for some expert help. Would love to see how it's done for real though.

Thanks to everyone for their responses.

Now I just have to gently raise the subject with the squaw......

Cheers,

yeah mate, your definately right. i watched countless youtube vids and they were great, got 85% of the way there. i got the opportunity to attend a ag demo day at lhbs and it was awesome, a lot of things just clicked when seeing it in the flesh, plus you get to ask heaps of questions. if you get the chance to hook up for a brew day grab it with both hands

cheers
