What's that smell?

All this ***** footing around over a bit of boiling liquid:grin:

Do it outside or just do it when she is out I often brew when she is out.

Boiling is the smelly part. You will put about 3l of steam per hour into the air. I do it in the kitchen on the floor with the back door cracked open and a desk fan blowing over it towards the door. That also helps to keep any small flies away from it. Wife doesn't mind. In fact she helps with the sparge!

It's the initially boiling and then the fermentation that's my concern.

The cupboard which I was thinking of using for the fermentation is within our current living room and is fairly open plan to the kitchen (hence the potential move of the living room). If we move the living room there's then less chance the furniture will hold on to the smell

I've never noticed a smell from fermenting beer unless I've stuck my nose in the fv.
