Ive started to build an area purposely for brewing. Sectioned off an end of my shed and painted the floor. I am sick of all the filth in my main shed being a mechanical workshop. Heres a pic of where I am at now for any one interested.
Heres a big bum whacker mash paddle I made today
The area is 3 x 9 meters, I need to get a sparky in now and think about where to put all the plumbing, hot cold drains and recirc back to tank for running wort chiller then theres the gas. Then I can line it. I need to sort out some good ventilation too because I reckon you could fill a hot air balloon with the gas burner I just bought.
Below is some left over jarrah from building my house that I intend to turn into work benches
So jealous - my whole shed is one third of that at 3 x 3...
The brewery shares that space with all the tools, paint tins, lawn mower, whipper snipper and all sorts of other junk.
At a guess - i would say dedicated brewing space is about 1.5 x 1.5.
You sir are a lucky lucky ******* - try brewing in a shoebox.
... used to have to get up out of the shoebox in the middle of the night, and lick the road clean with our tongues! We had to eat half a handful of freezing cold gravel, work twenty-four hours a day at mill for four pence every six years, and when we got home, our dad would slice us in two with a breadknife!
mine is an electric brewery, the 50L braumiester, i was looking at using a decent bathroom extractor from bunnings and a hood made from some sheet metal for steam extraction/ventilation. think that will fit the bill?
