I have my own room. 13' X 15' and full of stuff I like.

My beer making stuff has to stay pretty much in storage in my room but when it comes to brew time the house is mine. I brew my wort on the front porch. Found that cleaning boilovers and extract spills is easier with a water hose than a mop. Once in ferment the carboy goes to my room in a nice dark corner so I can listen to it while playing. Then when it is bottle washing time I start with my wash tub outside on the tailgate of my truck and then take the scrubbed and bleached bottles into the kitchen. There it is a rence using the bottle rence thing hooked up to the kitchen sink faucet and into the dishwasher the bottles go. There they get a soap free wash and a nice hot dry. This is done on bottling day because from the dish washer they get filled with my brew that I have transferred to the bottling bucket where priming sugar was sturred in after being cooked up on the kitchen stove. Once in the bottles and capped in the kitchen they go back into my room where they sit once again in a nice dark cubby hole under my N scale train layout until ready to be drank.

So really the only time my brewing is done in my room is when it is just sitting around doing it's thing.

Here I will say I have a batch fermenting that will be my first batch in my new keg system. It is time to abandon the bottle and move into kegs. Finally took the plunge and invested in 3 cornies, CO2, reg, and faucet system. All being hooked into my mini fridge in my room. Luckily my mini fridge is just big enough to house 2 kegs. Any bottled brew I make or buy will now have to go into the kitchen fridge but that is a sacrifice my wife will have to live with.
