The new brewery


Recommended Posts

Finally, Messy Backyard Brewing has a new home. It only took 6 months for my vision to take shape. Lugging all the gear around wasn't fun, despite a trolley but most of it is in and now I have the pleasure to put things in places where they're supposed to go. It still needs some work. I want to insulate the roof a little for Summer and I need to close up the gap above the front roller with shade cloth or something. That should also keep temps down.

New brew cave! I'm jealous, still on the back patio for me and the ferment fridge is in the spare bathroom! 😂

Yeah, it's great if you can contain it all in one room, obviously you need to be the king of the castle to avoid unnecessary items such as ironing boards, sewing machines finding their way in 🤣

I would like that, but I am happy with my set up, the bar & taproom in one room, I brew in the laundry (tiled floor). It is a big room with plenty of power points & a laundry tup next to the BrewZilla & on the other wall is storage for grain, fermenters, accessories, cleaning, chemicals & I have a little secret room to ferment at ambient & of course the brew fridge is in the kitchen.

I guess you could say I am spread all over the house but no SWMBO to try & stop me.

Good on you AK, all the best with it.

It looks great @Aussiekraut, a beautiful area to brew in! Agree with you that some insulation is needed for the roof, especially if it is on the north side of the house.

I am sure that you will be very happy with your new brewery.

A great idea with the roller shutters on the side, I have a similar carport situation at my place.

With the rollers, I can open the place up in Summer, when it is hot and I'm brewing. The slab is a metre and a bit longer than the enclosed area, so I have some workspace outside the enclosed area.

Aussie mate, where did the tall cabinet come from? It looks the goods. Nice job by the way - brewery looks awesome.
