Re: Building a room with a brew *groan*

Why are you making a brew room? Are you going to brew for the town you live
in? It would be cheaper to make a roll around self contained brewing cart. I
took a cooler and put a copper coil in it on the bottom I put a pass through
with a wire mesh to strain the grains. I took the copper pipe and routed it
through a pump to a pot on a burner. I have a temperature controller that
turns on the pump that moves the water in the copper pipe. The controller
has a timer on it with an alarm. When I am done steeping the grains I drain
the water from the cooler to the pot and I have a second pump that pumps
from the pot back up to the cooler and sprays over the grain and drains back
to the pot.

It cost about $600 to make. I bet the remodel will be more than that.
