Well I've just joined, and to be honest I'm a born again brewer. 19 years ago I joined the army, and had to stop brewing after an incident where a dhemijohn of mead I was making caused a lot of mess hidden away at the back of my locker.
So now I'm finding my feet and making the cupboard under my stairs into a brewery. It's just the first stages of its build, but it was suggested I post something in this section. So here's what I've pulled together so far...
Well to begin with I've put a small worktop in to give me some area to do my thing. The cupboards just off the kitchen, so access to water, heat and other useful stuff is to hand.
The worktops been fitted in today. The fridge (freebie) is awaiting its STC1000, there's a greenhouse tube heater fitted to a shelf inside to make up my ferment cabinet.
It gives enough room for one person to work stood up, and that's about it, and enough room for a couple of brews to go on simultaneously.
Cost so far £5 on a bit of worktop off cut at b&q, about £25 for the temp control and heating gear on the fridge
