The "how Small Is Your Brewery?" Thread

[randyrob]

Too small!!! Too small!!! You ungrateful b@st.... I'd kill for a little dedicated brewing space like that. I'm sick of setting up and packing away. Like many I spent the weekend in a blustery, windy, raining car port watching steam rise from the vessels.

All I can say is in conditions like that long live the NASA!!

Looks good though mate. A tidy little package and a good use of space.

Cheers, JD

hahaha rofl....

i tell you what the crunch was for me, i was smuggled up in bed all nice and warm with
the brewstand all set up in the backyard, the grain crushed and the hlt on a timer all ready
to go for when i woke up, then i got woken up by the missus telling me it was pissing down
outside. i really didnt expect that i checked the weather forecast the night before and it was
clear sky's! ran out there in my pj's and had to try to move everything under cover,
nearly put my back out lifiting the full hlt, trying not to get electricuted.

and let u guys know.

Bonj, your a bloody legend......i thought i had it hard with my room steaming up, my wife and kids come out now in their togs and use brew day in the beer shed as a steam room....

 

[Mr Bond]

have you got the Claude Monet Function on your camera or have I developed cataracts?

 

[tangent]

you know what'll clear up that glaucoma Mr.Bond?

i kinda like the Monet approach, apparently it's very arty and worth a lot more if you can find a tool with too much cash.

Mine gets wheeled around to avoid upsetting the wife, while the kettle gets sent out to the couryard to crack bricks which also upsets her.

Its been modified a bit recently.

i fixed the dryer but made a small scratch on a tiny tile h34r:

seriously thinking of a movable rig on castors though, maybe something that'll fit between or over wheel arches, add a small V8 to it.

 

[bonj]

You may be on to something there tangent... I've got a spare 1200 VW motor around the side...

 

[Kai]

Mine currently exists in the space between my ears, so pretty damned tiny.

 

[Thirsty Boy]

Alright, mine is nearly the same size as yours Rob.

I have ruthlessly taken over the communal laundry in our block of (4) flats. It was abandoned and derelict, so I fixed it up a bit, put a lock on the door and now I pretend like I have a right to exclusive use of the room... 12 months on and I am still getting away with it. Dont know what I'll do if the real estate agent every wakes up and chucks me out of there... I've got too much **** to brew on the balcony anymore.



BTW. I have upgraded to a converted keg boiler and eski mash tun now, so its a bit more crowded. Still, I love my little brewery.

Oh wait....i see what you did there.

No i didnt mean condesation....I meant what i said, does the room steam up much? Or is that a silly question

My Brew Wench is so forgiving

I build her a shed to put the camper and her Christmas decorations in (she is American and loves her lighted porcelain Christmas Village collection, dont ask me.....she just came with them) and I get to have half the shed for a brewery.....yay (six months finishing it though)

New house has a double garage with a lockup room at the back which holds my gear perfectly.

Boy I hope the landlords don't kick us out of this place. That would suck.

At the last place in Perth I was brewing in the cavity under the stairs

You'll need to install a CCTV feed...

- So we can all watch your brewday on the big screen from the back yard... :lol:

Haha ROFL... i always wondered how i'd go on a brewday with u boys, thats a tops idea Asher!
it sure beats not being able to brew when it's dark or raining and in amongst the dog **** on the lawn

 

[mika]

I now gotta tread amongst the dog siht as I run to and from the computer/house...great idea getting a dog ain't it <_<

Probably enhances the flavour though :huh:

Now all I need is some insulation, extend the frame, get a pump, upgrade the castors, etc etc
