Nice.

I have just about got SWMBO to approve of one of these 6x4 rooms for our back yard. Bar and games room inside, brewing outside.

Shouldnt be too hard to install a range hood of some style over your kettle if you want to boil in side...i just reakon it would be neater to have the whole show inside.....so you can still watch the 50" lcd that should be on the wall......

I use one of those "whirlygig" things on the roof of my brew shed - positioned it near the kettle and it does a pretty good job of extracting a lot of the steam outta the shed.

I had one on the brew shed for 8 months before I finally got around to putting a few on the house... gotta have your priorities right.

Had one electrician over today. Another coming on Wednesday. Electrical seems easy, but not overly cheap to get a 32a sub main circuit run (as the switch board is at the opposite end of the property).
Getting 10A and 15A circuits, plus lots of outlets (internal and external) + lighting (in and out).
Same pit in a different conduit will be 3 x Cat5 runs (2 for video feed) and the third for the home network.

Got my eyes on a couple more auctions on Evilbay this week for some equip to get closer to my wifes dream of no brewing practices in the house (other than the 6 keg kegorater that still gets to stay in the kitchen).

"video feeds"....."network cabling"

this is sounding better day by day

Picked up the double basin brewing tub tonight on the way home from the inaugural brewday of the 3 Pickled Monkeys Brewing Co.

Two tubs in the brewhaus just for BREWING related activities. Heaven.

I asked SWMBO for a cabin she said 'you wish' would not get much change from $15000 with all the water, electrics, LCD connection, internet ,plus Danish aupair to keep it tidy .

Hey Doc, that water tap looks fancy. Guess the local prices for that gear was a bit silly? What's the size of those laundry sinks if you don't mind (45L each).

Nice transformation beernorks.

Hi Doc,

get the plumber to dig a 600mm deep trench & then install your electricity in the bottom, cover it by 150mm dirt, then the data cabling, cover it by 150mm dirt, rollout "danger electrical cable below" tape over that then lay the water & gas pipes. 1 trench = all services.

If you want it, I have some warning tape left from when I did the above recently - there would be about 25m left on the roll. let me know if you want it & I will bring it into town & we can hook up at lunch.

Don't forget to put RCD's on the sub board in the "cubby".

Thanks for the tips Crozdog. The trench only has to go a few meters. Yet to appoint a plumber but as my FIL was a plumber I have lots of leads

I have done many, but all in my head, and none on paper. Will lock in the layout this weekend once I pickup last nights eBay purchases plus the ones I plan on making tonight/tomorrow

You can never have too many fridges right ?

can you get a pic of a adult standing on the porch of your shed.

The pic is a bit hard to tell.

Also you might know on fridges...a bloke has one for sale near me .
It is a wine fridge and it says 7 -20 dgrs .
Would you know if this would make a good fermenting fridge?

cheers.

 

[MVZOOM]

That is awesome Doc. Actually not too expensive for what you get. Can't wait to come through and check it out!

Here is a piccy of it still being built to show that it is full sized



With wine fridges there are thermoelectric/peltier based ones and then the full refrigeration based ones.
The refrigeration based ones are the ones to get, as even though they have presets they have the cooling power to go lower than the set temps of the thermoelectric/peltier ones.

I'm picking up three refrigeration based ones on Saturday
