Regular.
Ok, I did my first extract brew where I had hop additions, and I was rather enjoying myself and the aromas, unfortunately the rest of the family were gagging on the smell!
So, I've been relegated to the garden shed!
However, this is not all bad, as I've managed to do quite a good job of it (for such a small place):
Old 800mm kitchen unit salvaged from the old kitchen (that was in the garage as a workbench);
A piece of formica wrapped worktop (donated by my Dad);
An old shelf converted to an additional narrow workbench;
A no longer needed halogen light fitting;
A single sink (I had to buy this from Ikea £20) - got fed up of being outbid on ebay (altho I am pretty deft at napping).
I've plumbed it in (all I need to do is connect the plumbing to the hosepipe when I want water);
I've wired it in via an RCD;
Lights are working;
Sink is fitted (just need to fit the waste);
I've lined the sides of the shed where the burner will be with 40mm offcuts of oak from the wooden worktops in the new kitchen -and then I will line this with something fireproof like vermiculite fire board or Gyproc FireLine board.
I have a Large Burner from Hamilton Gas Products (8.8kw), and I was wondering about the fumes from the burner in a small shed - bearing in mind there is a window which will be open, and I'll have the door open as well. Should I fit an extractor for safe measure? The shed is approx 1200 x 2400
Obviously I can get a carbon monoxide detector, and I can get a desk fan and mount it on the ceiling to circulate the air.
I have been on the receiving end of carbon monoxide before, not of my doing (someone idiot with a portable genny), and not a pleasant experience either.
