BrewBen's New Brewery

[brewben]

Hello All,

I have been a long time lurker on these forums and really appreciated all the help and advice that people have posted on here.
I have been brewing beer for around 5 years from kits and modifying kits etc.

So two factors i need to take into account, I want to go all grain, and my wife wants me out of the kitchen.
So now its time to build a brewery:

Excuse the mess, we were demolishing an old chicken run, took down a shed and a green house. But here is the area for a 20 foot by 10 foot Brewery

Once cleared I was able to put in the supporting posts (using cement in post holders, please excuse power supply, had just moved it for the mixer and wasn't live yet)

Fence post holders in action

Straight line

First parts of roof on (more support on ends added afterwards)

Put these up for if i want to do brew in a bag i can setup a winch

Ply roof on, ply walls on, door in - solid hardwood door won on Ebay for a whopping £2

next is lights, cladding on exterior, back door, interior walls & brewing vessels which i am in discussion from Rob at Maltmiller now about

Cladding on the front was finished sunday, just didn't take a pic in the daylight so took one tonight:

Let there be light (spent the evening putting P clips up to tidy the cables)

P clips on

It was cold so came in for a nice beer before the game tonight, St Peters Ruby Red

Gotta love a Stein (Do you think i need a flake with that)

Looking forward to getting the shiny ordered soon

Cheers

[brewben]

Thanks for the encouragement all.

So this weekend I put a new window in £15 off ebay:

Some nice Earthwool insulation:

And then ply over the top (should keep the heat in):

I also ordered my shiny last week from http://www.homebrewbuilder.co.uk, a very nice 70/60/70 system which will be ready for pickup on 2nd March.

Can't wait

Cheers

Ben

Great post and pics.

I love these brewery build threads/posts, gives us all food for thought and inspiration that it can be done without it costing an absolute arm and a leg.

Keep the pics coming.
