The brew house is go!

[gedburg101]

After finally buying the new house the brew house is underway. Planning on installing a 200l set up inside.

Today we put up the battening for the insulation.

Old garage/ outhouse?

 

[gedburg101]

Garage. House is only 15 years old so not too bad. Ideal really. Mains water and 40amp electrics...

Keep posting the photos; even though I'm jealous

Out of interest, what will you do with all the beer from such a big set up? I love the idea of big kit but I can't imagine what I'd do with such big batches.

 

[Spapro]

Will watch the build with interest - exciting times

 

[madoIII]

Very interested... very jealous

Become a total pisshead. Well, I would like.

I'm opening a fully licensed nano brewery. Planning on flogging it!

The frame is now up and insulation goes in tomorrow. Loads of snags holding things back (taking out sockets, leaving bought parts in B&Q etc).

I just need to get the plasterboard on ASAP!

may i suggest you also consider providing the capacity to brew 5 gallon batches as well as the full volume 200l batches planned.

After completing my own modest in comparrison bigger brew kit, i found brewing larger volumes had the unfortunate effect of reducing my number of brewdays and i liked my brewdays.. Also when the results prove less than spectacular its a pita to have lots of litres of a so so beer kicking about, if like me its only ever served when the good stuff has done its job and i could serve harp without complaints

there is a lot to be sadi for the 5 gallon batch size

 

[gedburg101]

Definitely! I'm still keeping my 5 gallon kit.

 

[Thumper]

You could use the 5 gallon size to experiment and scale up recipes when you know they work. Seems logical to me, anyway.

 

[gedburg101]

Indeed. Exactly that. I'm brewing on my 5 gallon kit this weekend to refine a recipe.

You won't be able to homebrew for personnal consumption in the brew house once you are commercially up and running though, regardless of which kit you use.

Any plans for drainage, inevitably will be getting some spillage?

That I didn't know...

I'm going to pay duty on the whole batch so would that be the issue sorted?

Otherwise, could I brew my own stuff in the garden?
