engineers and their ideas..............
Wish my council would let me set up commercially in the shed.
 
The 39-year-old engineer built a full brewing factory in his Sydney back yard without his wife’s permission

Heartening to see we're not a nation of total cucks just yet then.. Permission? Good lord..
 
$10k.... really??!! I'd hate to see the story they write on Husky's systems. I've never done the sums but I'd be getting close to $10k.
 
Doesn't give the actual cost in the story just, "I managed to save around $10,000 on versus if I bought it new!"
 
I just read the same story in another publication where it said he spent $5k.

("kegerator for $500, the shed for $500 and the brewery equipment for $4,000, which was purchased by the first owners for $20,000.")
 
Good point.. probably ought to edit that thread title. But also, this is a garbage thread about a garbage news story so the title may as well remain misleading :D
I feel bad for even giving the Telegraph the web traffic, to be honest

:(that would cover half of it......

This bloke rekons he saved $10k which implies he's spent more than that but with no pics who knows. The shed does look kind of small so can't be that big or exy.

Any equipment pics in the other publication? I'm guessing its a standard type homemade 3V, nothing special
 
There's a good chance this guy is an AHB member, come to think of it
 
Shame theres no pics... Inside might have the kegerator in one corner and a second hand 50L Braumeister sitting in the middle.... Thatd be about $5000 all up. :fallingoffchair:
 
Seriously, this article (to the extent of the detail that it does and doesn't provide) could be written about anybody on this forum.

X likes beer. X learns how to make beer. X risks being victim of spousal homicide by spending too much on beer brewing equipment. X manages to sweet-talk said spouse. X prints some labels and sticks them on bottles and brewing equipment. X hopes to set up a commercial brewery one day.

There are more pix in the Daily Mail story.
It's basically just a big Blichmann pot and a conical.
