My Brewery

[dswan75]

I've got half of my garage setup for brewing. Yup, that's a bathtub, and it is awesome for cleaning. Lol  First fridge is for beer storage and carbonation, second one I ferment in. (Temp controller to come someday). It's a work in progress but sure enjoy brew day with some tunes on.

More of the garage will be consumed for a beer storage freezer and more fermentation chambers. (some day. Lol)

I've got my boil pot and HLT swapped in the pic, I was cleaning the valves at the time and had the boil pot up where i could work on it..

Looking good! nice to have that much dedicated space. Bathtub is great, I'd love to have a "sink" that big to wash gear in

Nice set up, it looks like youre set up pretty similar to me. A brew stand is something thats been on my to-do list for awhile, but I just sort of achieve the same thing on a counter for now.

If you're holding back on the temperature controller I probably spend less than $20 for everything on mine. I just used an aquarium temp controller from amazon hooked up to the fridge and a homemade paint can heater.

You should have seen the look on the plumbers face that came to install nb power water heater. Lol. . What the hell you have a bathtub mounted up off the floor for??? He thought I might be washing the dog or something.

Awesome setup..  I really like the tub/sink idea!

My garage has turned into a makeshift brewery as well...  Cars are fine outside

yea the tub is great for bottle washing and bottling too... i made a framework that sits over top of it all and my bottle tower can drain off into it, and a spot where i bottle that sits on a grill and the foam over can just run into the tub. its great really... looks kinda funny but super functional!

I have had people come into my garage and think that I am running a meth lab because of all of the copper coil, pots, burners, and Erlenmeyer flasks kicking around.

Lol yup.. it's instantly a "still" to the people who don't know the brewing process. "Oh! You have a still!" .... no, no its not a still. Please don't tell people I have a still. Lol

My landlord has sent in a few contractors and various service people and more than one has said "don't worry, I won't tell your landlord about your still, but you should hide it better"
