Its Been a while..

Wed Sep 30, 2009 2:32 pm

Its been a while since ive been able to update... We had our second child born on September 1st. :D While ive had the time i decided to upgrade my brewery a bit (5 weeks of FMLA leave lets you do what you want)
Here is my new brew shed (no more brewing outside for me :D )

The brew stand

Mill/Work table (Thanks BeerPal for starting that thread on motorizing your mill and everyone who helped him out. I never would have set it up if it wasn't for you guys)

Storage/Desk

I know some of you may think im crazy for having propane burners inside but i do have a CO detector and there is plenty of air flow in there. I also have a range hood venting to the outside. So dont worry..

Nice small footprint. Do you pull those burners away from the walls when you fire 'em up?

Sweet setup. Do you worry about someone breaking in to the shed and stealing all you stuff?

the shed its self is a 6x8 Arrow shed that i built a deck under and added an extra foot to the height so i could stand in it..
you cant tell from the pics but the burners are about a foot from the wall and i put a piece of galvanized sheet metal that i painted with BBQ paint back there so the wall of the shed doesnt get any direct heat..
