So cool to see how you set this up, especially from the Brewtuber POV. Has me very inspired to look at my setup and find efficiencies. Also shoutout to PapaMeat!
You can do it! The initial rehab took almost exactly one month and honestly the hardest part was organizing and thinning out. I had it set up in a few different configurations before just recently landing here. 6 months of working in the space and moving things around
jealous of the dedicated building, that's awesome. If you can work out a deal with BT - I would get rid of the conicals taking up space on the floor and just hang 2 or 3 miniunis on the wall for a clean look that would open up some space 🍻
Really great build out. Enjoyed the video. One question: what are you doing for moisture control during the brew day? Didn’t see an exhaust fan, but maybe you’re using a steam condenser?
Yep that’s a good call. I’m using steam condensers for both the sparge water heater (anvil foundry) and the main kettle (Brewtools B40). So far so good but something I’m keeping an eye on for sure
You will probably have a lot of vapour while boiling in the brewery so solving that could be added to the list. Otherwise you end up having too much humidity which may harm the electronic devices and create mold. I would also suggest ceramic on the walls and food grade epoxy coating on the floor.
I’m using steam condensers on the HLT (Anvil Foundry and BK (Brewtools B40). Works insanely well! Water and drain are on the list but I’ve brewed in here just running hoses through the door and it wasn’t too bad. Still def high priority
What are your plans for cleaning water/brewing liquor? Looks awesome, tho. Fresh water/plumbing is the only thing that strikes me that needs a solution.
Still working those plans out! I've been using blue jugs of either spring or RO water to brew with and the hose for cleaning water but I definitely need a long term solution for those. Cheers!
I have a pulley system above my braumeister to lift the heavy HOT grain basket out - not sure I could see one but you have the wire cage structure above - suggest this is a good thing to have as is hot, heavy and at chest level where noone has lifting power in their arms!
I'm excited to follow this project. Small suggestion: you mentioned the entrance was tight, and my first thought was to flip the door around so it opens out. Not sure if it's possible given whatever's outside the shed, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
So awesome! I'm a similar position. Moved the family across the country six months ago and just getting around to setting up a semi-dedicated brewery in the basement. Similar to you, there's so much I want to do but the plan was to get it up and running, do a few batches and start to figure out what works where and what doesn't work. Then start making some improvements. The fact that you can brew, ferment and package now is key. You're over the hump and the rest will start to take shape, based on priority and real-world usage. Some questions: 1. What did you use to plan this out? Was it just in your head and winging it, or did you sketch it on paper or on SketchUp? Especially in a small space (mine is about the same size as yours), you need a plan to make things as efficiently as possible so I'd like to get your input and plan mine out a bit more. 2. What are you doing for humidity during a boil? Install exhaust fan? Open a window? Steam condensing lid? 3. What current glycol chiller do you have and what are you planning on getting. I'm using a DIY one but have been eyeing up the Spike one as the best overall package for home brewing. 4. Are you planning on going commercial at all? 5. What is your day job? All of your To-Dos are currently on my list as well so super keen to watch you solve each of them. Congrats on everything you've done in such a short amount of time!
So I didn't plan it out really I just tried an initial layout, it didn't work, moved it, didn't work, and so on. Took quite a while to get to the current configuration and I'm sure it'll change again. For steam control I'm using steam condensers on both kettles and it's working really well. I also live in a very dry climate so anything that escapes will soon disappear. My glycol chiller is the ice master II from BrewBuilt (Kegland G20 I believe). I plan to continue using it but I'll be adding some solenoid valves from Brewtools to expand its capabilities. I would like to go commercial at some point far off in the future but most likely in a non-traditional way. Potentially gypsy brewing via collaborations or even a virtual brewery. By day I'm a learning designer in the software industry. Looking forward to continuing on! Cheers!
Holy cow, that’s a lot of stuff in a small space. Not sure what kind of work you do or how much time you’ll be in there working, but that space doesn’t look very ergonomical. When I built my home office the game changer for me was a wall mounted heat pump for heating and cooling, and an energy recovery ventilator for constant filtered ventilation. I spend 8 hrs a day in there so no more CO2 level spikes and constant 75F all day. What’s your water/cleaning situation? Do you have space nearby outside for a wash basin? Plumb an instant hot water heater for cleanup water with that old natural gas line service from that space heater.
These are great suggestions! I’m a learning designer for a Saas company so I do spend a lot of time in here but I also constantly walk around the property and move my body. Still looking into some of these. Hot water heater would be awesome! I’m thinking I can maybe use my brew kettle as a sink basin
That's a fantastic shed! I see that you have your foeder and barrel next to "clean" fermentors. Do you plan on fermenting wild beers in those? Aren't you afraid of cross contamination?
Don’t take this the wrong way but how are you going to brew anything in here with any efficiency without a water source or a drain? What kind of brewery doesn’t has plumbing? Any plans for this? Otherwise, this is a kick ass little setup.
Hahaha just like any home brewer… with the hose my guy. Not ideal but I’ve already brewed twice in here and it’s similar to my last brewery. But rest assured it’s on the list and gonna happen. I’m even looking at some tankless water heaters. We’ll see what happens. Code says I can’t have hardlined water without a line into the sewer so it gets complicated quick. Also I’ve been brewing with spring or RO water in those blue jugs for a long time. So it’s mainly the cleaning and steam condensers we gotta worry about. 🤙🏼🍻
I feel like the thing that is missing is some kind of exhaust for when you are boiling wort especially in the summer as I can imagine it would get quite warm in there.
I’m using some steam condensers on the kettles to solve this. As for the warmth in the summer, I’m considering having a mini split installed for hvac but it’s a little pricey
@@HopsANDgnarly I got a single room ac unit that was pretty affordable and would totally work for for that size space for the summer. also I think it would be awesome if you put solar on the roof to help power the brewery
My steam condensers do too so my plan is it plant a deer plot on the downhill side of this shed and use the waste to gravity feed the garden. Might also play with the idea of like a rain barrel or something to hold some excess
This is really interesting for me as in December I moved into a new place with an out building/workshop right outside the kitchen door. It's a little bigger at 4*3m, but I don't have as much as you and I'm turning half into a woodwork shop. Can we see a plan view of how you laid everything out for space efficiency? Whilst I won't have a mini bar and TV, filming equipment etc I will have a keezer and a home lab as I will be playing with wild cultures a lot.
Loving the new brewery mate. You’ve definitely made the most of the space and I can’t wait to see how it evolves. I’ve only just noticed your tap handle. The only Matilda Bay I know of started outside of Melbourne here in Australia 40 years ago. One of our original modern day craft breweries. I’d love to know if there’s a story behind how you got it. Cheers 🇦🇺
Thank you! Lots of folks from Australia seem to have good memories of Matilda Bay! I picked it up at an Antique store while on a road trip and have since found out it wasn’t advertising the beer but the wine cooler. Epic tap handle in the collection 🍻
As most have said, fantastic project and great use of the space. But personally I would not mill in there. How do you contain the grain dust, especially when it’s within feet of your packaging station? Doesn’t seem like much ventilation in there. That would be my worry. Lastly, if you’re brewing in there where is your water source?
It’s a good point and that’s why I enclosed the dusty part. Something to keep an eye on. Most people don’t realize that the dust from milling can be the worst part for your health. Cheers 🍻
Congratulations! That’s awesome man. How are you planning on cleaning equipment in there? All you’d really need is a water source and a drain? If you don’t have the space inside the shed maybe you can build something on the outside like a “slop sink” and use hose water, although that might get tricky in winter. Excited to see you use the new space. 🍻 cheers
Thanks! That’s one of my biggest pain points right now. I’ve been using the hose or bringing buckets from inside. Not ideal but I’ve got some ideas to make it happen
@@HopsANDgnarly I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I brew out of an old “washer and dryer” closet now where I added a small sink which fits a bucket inside of it and I use a small pump to push the water to the drain pipe which was used by the washing machine. Maybe you could do that and have it drain to a spot in your yard/where your rain water drains. I’ve had to utilize every inch of the space so I know it’s all part of the fun but it can be frustrating. Before I moved it all into a designated spot I also brewed out of my garage, and I added an external sink just outside of a fully sliding window. It was not ideal, but I was able to drain into it, pass wet grains to it and use a hose splitter to run water to that sink which I extended into the garage. Best of luck! Looking forward to the new content.
Awesome! Two questions: 1)What do you do with the Raspberry pi? 2) How do you manage temp for fermentation? I know you have the glycol chiller to cool, but what do you use to raise temps?
The raspberry pi receives input from my Tilt hydrometers and sends data to Brewfather so I can track fermentation. Some of my tanks have heaters connected to them and others just use the ambient temperature to raise the temp. Cheers!
I think the problem is that there is a negative pressure. Large bubbles form under the lid and push their way to the top. The last few times I used anti-foam.
Wow, your new home brewery setup is seriously impressive! The attention to detail and the thought you've put into every aspect of the brewing process is evident. I love how you've optimized the space. Looking forward to seeing more videos on your brewing journey and maybe even some tasting sessions! Cheers to your new home brewery and the delicious creations to come! 🍻🏡
I just started moving my brew setup to a small shed space too, although not nearly as complex as yours....yet 😅. For the floor, I found decent looking vinyl that you can stick to the floor, then mopped with a waterproofing coat. Super cheap and does exactly what I want. Draining is the next step to figure out.
Loved this! You really made use of every inch of space, and look to have a cozy and functional homebrew-house. I hope to be able to do something similar in the future. Looking forward to your upcoming brew vids! 🍻
How did you seal the flooring down? I saw the sealant, but that's for the subfloor boards. The laminate on top is my question. Anywhere I've had that laminate, it comes up within a year, usually due to moisture getting to the glue.
Efficient and elegant! I'd imagine the more you use it the more tweaks you'll be able to make to get it slimmed down. I'll echo what others say, there's a few too many fermenters but it sounds like you're going with wall-mounted mini-uni's soon, you need a winch of some sort so you don't get a hernia or have a brunami accident one day, and some sort of humidity control and HVAC would probably make the brew days nicer. Excited to see where you go with it, and your editing and narration skills are always top notch.
Fantastic transformation! I also recently moved and I'm dealing with a new space for brewing. Right now my brew cart is burried, but seeing this is inspiring! I would for sure get some sort of powered ventilation in there. I didnt notice your old sink in there. I would think that would be a great thing to have in there, you could potentially rout a drain out the floor or wall.
Check your local plumbing code. I had a plumber doing some work so I asked him about running a water supply to my brewshed. He said that code requires that a supply line can only be installed if you also install a sewer line. I told him I didn't need a waste line because the water will either be going into the beer or used for cleaning so I'll just dump the buckets in the corner of the yard. He understood but still said that the law is the law. So, for now, I have to run a potable hose out there when needed. He did offer a suggestion though. He said that when I do the electrical run, to also run separate 2" electrical conduit and run the hose through that. Since it is not a permanent connection it is allowed.
This is a good call out! I’m planning something similar. I want a quick disconnect on the outside of the shed which then supplies a permanent situation on the inside. In my old garage brewery I had my sink rigged up kind of line that and it worked out fine
So sick! I'm looking to renovate my garage space this year and seeing all that you've done with such a small space is awesome! Gives me a ton of ideas. Can't wait to see what else you come up with 🍻🍻🍻
Just a thought, but maybe you could set up your old fermentation shed just outside the brewery and line the inside with a decent amount of inulation.even if you just used it for storing canning and bottling stuff or a mill station etc I see that extra space being extremely useful.
Not yet. Kicking around the idea of an outdoor sink but once I get the water and drain installed I honestly think I might use the B40 as the sink basin
Holy moly, Dan. You are making me insanely jealous! Giving me tons of inspiration for my basement closet brewery. You may need a brewery cat, I learned the hard way certain critters will stop at nothing to get to some grains… But your storage looks immaculate! I noticed your Raspberry Pi setup too, what are you using that for?
Haha I bring my cat out here sometimes to hang out and I’ve been curiously watching to see if he picks up on anything. Nothing yet! The Pi is set up to receive and send Tilt data to keep track of fermentation in BrewFather
I haven’t been brave enough to turn it on yet. The plumber said the piping is good but the heater itself is an unknown. I’ve been using a Dyson heater so far this winter. But the gas line could come in handy. Maybe a mini split at some point
@@HopsANDgnarly I have hung my keg from the ceiling using two tension belts, fastened to the ceiling. So every time I have to use them I loosen the tension and pull one out. I am looking forward to see your progress!
Hello sir can I ask that youd do your video more in the style of grain to glass.. sometimes you brew something and I keep trying to find the next video in which you show the end result but I cant find it, this is frustrating as heck.

Amazing. How much time did all this take? I'd love to do this, but I don't have your energy. I need to organize my garage brewhouse like yours.

Couldn’t agree more! Cheers 🍻
First time viewer here. Do you sell your brews or just a hobby? The setup looks great btw 👍
Just a hobby 🍻
Wow! Just wow 😮. Incredible use of space. Well done, man!
Thanks Matt! 🍻
Tight fit but looks great! Can't wait to see the progress going forward
A backyard brewery shed is a goal of mine.
Nice! That sure was a lot of work. I'd love to make something similar in my garden.
Great video as always. Looking awesome.
Seeing your channel grow inspires me to do something like this.
You’ve definitely made great use of the space looks great cheers 👍🍻
Thank you! Cheers!
You will probably have a lot of vapour while boiling in the brewery so solving that could be added to the list. Otherwise you end up having too much humidity which may harm the electronic devices and create mold. I would also suggest ceramic on the walls and food grade epoxy coating on the floor.
Brewtools steamer has the problem solved… but how about a water source and drain?
I’m using steam condensers on the HLT (Anvil Foundry and BK (Brewtools B40). Works insanely well! Water and drain are on the list but I’ve brewed in here just running hoses through the door and it wasn’t too bad. Still def high priority
Looks great, Dan! I also noticed that we must have the same Epidemic Sound playlist 🤣 cheers 🍻
It did sound familiar.... :)
Thanks man! Always funny to hear these songs all over UA-cam! Here’s my main list www.epidemicsound.com/playlist/p1lukp3h0y35maxizremzgnso2ukw43z/
What are your plans for cleaning water/brewing liquor? Looks awesome, tho. Fresh water/plumbing is the only thing that strikes me that needs a solution.
Still working those plans out! I've been using blue jugs of either spring or RO water to brew with and the hose for cleaning water but I definitely need a long term solution for those. Cheers!
I have a pulley system above my braumeister to lift the heavy HOT grain basket out - not sure I could see one but you have the wire cage structure above - suggest this is a good thing to have as is hot, heavy and at chest level where noone has lifting power in their arms!
Absolute must have! I’ll do a deep dive in an upcoming video 🍻
I'm excited to follow this project. Small suggestion: you mentioned the entrance was tight, and my first thought was to flip the door around so it opens out. Not sure if it's possible given whatever's outside the shed, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
Brilliant suggestion I’ll see if it’s possible! 🍻
So awesome! I'm a similar position. Moved the family across the country six months ago and just getting around to setting up a semi-dedicated brewery in the basement.
Similar to you, there's so much I want to do but the plan was to get it up and running, do a few batches and start to figure out what works where and what doesn't work. Then start making some improvements.
The fact that you can brew, ferment and package now is key. You're over the hump and the rest will start to take shape, based on priority and real-world usage.
Some questions:
1. What did you use to plan this out? Was it just in your head and winging it, or did you sketch it on paper or on SketchUp? Especially in a small space (mine is about the same size as yours), you need a plan to make things as efficiently as possible so I'd like to get your input and plan mine out a bit more.
2. What are you doing for humidity during a boil? Install exhaust fan? Open a window? Steam condensing lid?
3. What current glycol chiller do you have and what are you planning on getting. I'm using a DIY one but have been eyeing up the Spike one as the best overall package for home brewing.
4. Are you planning on going commercial at all?
5. What is your day job?
All of your To-Dos are currently on my list as well so super keen to watch you solve each of them.
Congrats on everything you've done in such a short amount of time!
So I didn't plan it out really I just tried an initial layout, it didn't work, moved it, didn't work, and so on. Took quite a while to get to the current configuration and I'm sure it'll change again. For steam control I'm using steam condensers on both kettles and it's working really well. I also live in a very dry climate so anything that escapes will soon disappear. My glycol chiller is the ice master II from BrewBuilt (Kegland G20 I believe). I plan to continue using it but I'll be adding some solenoid valves from Brewtools to expand its capabilities. I would like to go commercial at some point far off in the future but most likely in a non-traditional way. Potentially gypsy brewing via collaborations or even a virtual brewery. By day I'm a learning designer in the software industry.
Looking forward to continuing on! Cheers!

For me the wort boils over when I use the condenser. Don't you have that problem? And if so, how did you fix it?
Have you tried turning the power down? I boil at about 50% power at my elevation
I think the problem is that there is a negative pressure. Large bubbles form under the lid and push their way to the top. The last few times I used anti-foam.
@@TheAndlixthat could be your incoming water pressure. You may need a different nozzle inside your condenser

For the floor, I found decent looking vinyl that you can stick to the floor, then mopped with a waterproofing coat. Super cheap and does exactly what I want. Draining is the next step to figure out.
Nice man! Good luck with the build 🍻
Dude, it looks so great! Nice job! Small, but mighty! Looking forward to seeing it in use! keep up the great work
Thanks man 🍻🍻
Loved this! You really made use of every inch of space, and look to have a cozy and functional homebrew-house. I hope to be able to do something similar in the future. Looking forward to your upcoming brew vids! 🍻
Thanks a lot! You can totally do it! 🍻
Wow Dan amazing setup congrats. The possibilities are endless…looking forward to seeing what you do with the new setup.
Thanks 🙏🏼 🍻
Looking great! Can't wait to see some brews!
How did you seal the flooring down? I saw the sealant, but that's for the subfloor boards. The laminate on top is my question. Anywhere I've had that laminate, it comes up within a year, usually due to moisture getting to the glue.
So this is a different kind of laminate usually called LVP that kinda locks into itself row by row
Efficient and elegant! I'd imagine the more you use it the more tweaks you'll be able to make to get it slimmed down. I'll echo what others say, there's a few too many fermenters but it sounds like you're going with wall-mounted mini-uni's soon, you need a winch of some sort so you don't get a hernia or have a brunami accident one day, and some sort of humidity control and HVAC would probably make the brew days nicer. Excited to see where you go with it, and your editing and narration skills are always top notch.
Thank you very much! Perfect synopsis I might just stick this in the next video 🍻🍻
Looks good, has the new brewery got a water supply?
Not yet but I have some ideas to work around code. Before I start making holes I need to make sure the floor plan is locked in
Cool.
Fantastic transformation! I also recently moved and I'm dealing with a new space for brewing. Right now my brew cart is burried, but seeing this is inspiring! I would for sure get some sort of powered ventilation in there. I didnt notice your old sink in there. I would think that would be a great thing to have in there, you could potentially rout a drain out the floor or wall.
Thanks! Got some ideas kicking around and I’ll share more soon 🍻
Check your local plumbing code. I had a plumber doing some work so I asked him about running a water supply to my brewshed. He said that code requires that a supply line can only be installed if you also install a sewer line. I told him I didn't need a waste line because the water will either be going into the beer or used for cleaning so I'll just dump the buckets in the corner of the yard. He understood but still said that the law is the law. So, for now, I have to run a potable hose out there when needed. He did offer a suggestion though. He said that when I do the electrical run, to also run separate 2" electrical conduit and run the hose through that. Since it is not a permanent connection it is allowed.
This is a good call out! I’m planning something similar. I want a quick disconnect on the outside of the shed which then supplies a permanent situation on the inside. In my old garage brewery I had my sink rigged up kind of line that and it worked out fine
Love everything ya did except for the black paint. Cheers and beers bud.
🍻
Looking realy nice! Love to see how u do with the drain.. Im going to install a drain aswell and fix my problem with the steam when I brew in my shed
Thanks! The drain will be a challenge but I can’t wait to get it put in
So sick! I'm looking to renovate my garage space this year and seeing all that you've done with such a small space is awesome! Gives me a ton of ideas. Can't wait to see what else you come up with 🍻🍻🍻
Such a fun project! Cheers 🍻
Just a thought, but maybe you could set up your old fermentation shed just outside the brewery and line the inside with a decent amount of inulation.even if you just used it for storing canning and bottling stuff or a mill station etc I see that extra space being extremely useful.
That’s a rad idea!
That Genesee can tho
🤘🏼🍻
This is brilliant! Very excited to see the upcoming additions and brews mate! 🍻
Thanks 🤘🏼🍻
Is there a sink?
Not yet. Kicking around the idea of an outdoor sink but once I get the water and drain installed I honestly think I might use the B40 as the sink basin
Awesome use of the space! I'm sure it'll be a big adjustment at first but can't wait to see what great recipes you brew in the new brewery! Cheers.
Test brew coming real soon 🍻
Hell yeah man looks good!! All you need now is a small walk in cooler with a modified AC with a coolbot controller.
Hahaha this whole thing is probably smaller than most walk-ins!
Killer new digs!
🤘🏼🍻
Quite a setup. Nice use of the space.
Very bloody cool!🍻
Great job, love it!
Very, very, nice! I'm not jealous at all!
🙏🏼🍻
Holy moly, Dan. You are making me insanely jealous! Giving me tons of inspiration for my basement closet brewery. You may need a brewery cat, I learned the hard way certain critters will stop at nothing to get to some grains… But your storage looks immaculate! I noticed your Raspberry Pi setup too, what are you using that for?
Haha I bring my cat out here sometimes to hang out and I’ve been curiously watching to see if he picks up on anything. Nothing yet! The Pi is set up to receive and send Tilt data to keep track of fermentation in BrewFather
@@HopsANDgnarly oh that’s sick, I’m going to have to get a Tilt soon.
Can you run that heater still?
I haven’t been brave enough to turn it on yet. The plumber said the piping is good but the heater itself is an unknown. I’ve been using a Dyson heater so far this winter. But the gas line could come in handy. Maybe a mini split at some point
@@HopsANDgnarly I'd definitely recommend a mini split for Denver weather. I have a small office in WI heated with one.
You go Dan !!!
Looks great! You might be able to hang the corny kegs from the ceiling in the corner, and free up more space.
Ooo that’s a great idea!
@@HopsANDgnarly I have hung my keg from the ceiling using two tension belts, fastened to the ceiling. So every time I have to use them I loosen the tension and pull one out.
I am looking forward to see your progress!
I like the small Foeder. Great setup.
One of my favorites! Unfortunately I think the company stopped making them. Cheers 🍻
Iron city beer?
Are you a Pittsburgh guy? 🍻
I grew out there and therefore always a yinzer! 🍻 you from there also?
Great channel by the way. Really enjoy your content.
Thanks! I’m from the Midwest but not PA. Definitely crushed plenty of ICs in my life and love the history of those old pull tab cans
Hell yeah, he's back!
🤘🏼🍻
Hello sir can I ask that youd do your video more in the style of grain to glass.. sometimes you brew something and I keep trying to find the next video in which you show the end result but I cant find it, this is frustrating as heck.
Only the oldest ones are like that. I believe I made the change during the IPA series 🍻
looks great Dan!
