The problem with online metal places is the shipping, especially now. In most cases you may pay more locally for the metal, but you won't have to pay for shipping.

Do you have a sink in the garage? What about a floor drain you can actually drain into? Ventilation? Necessary power requirements? All the rest is frosting, get the bones in there first, IMHO...

Guess I should have listed what is already there :oops: ....

I have a sink and plenty of room near it to add additional sinks if needed. Plenty of power, main panel is in the garage and can be added to if needed. Even have generator panel if the power goes out :wink: . Can easily drain into the sink if needed. There are also two windows at the front of the garage that can be opened if extra ventilation is needed (garage opens on the back of the house). Floor has already been coated. High ceilings (plan on using hanging racks to free up floor space). Need to add cabinets for storage.


Thanks,

JC

You are absolutely correct. We need to mobilize the NC Armored Division of the BN.

you could add a bathroom fan to help pull humidity/moisture out if you want to brew with the garage door closed. Also check out the Build a Brewhouse episode of the Session for great ideas.
