OK, I know it's a tautology, but what's the guesstimate cost to fit out a shed or similar at home to do a brew from scratch?

Though I'm completely skint, the dream lives that the soon to be built manor could be fitted out.

Are you talking 3 tier 10 US Gallon all grain set up with Stainless steel conical fermenter in a temperature controlled enclosure. Bottles storage in another temperature controlled enclosure?

Don't have exact numbers, but heaps would be close.

Check out some of the neat toys on http://morebeer.com/ then add shipping convert currency etc. I agree that it is fun to dream though.

Cheers,
Greg

Grain & Grape have a full AG brewstand for about $3500. Add fermenters, temp control, plumbing, drainage, wiring etc & the tatts winning starts to disappear.

I'm slowly collecting more brew gear with the aim to do All Grain brews. You don't have to buy everything all at once & can wait & pick up cheaper stuff as it appears. Surf Ebay & brew forums etc.

Daron,

Here's a previous thread, which might make you a bit depressed.

You're right, I'm depressed. Best I stick to being a wordsmith

Thats what im talking about.

Ive been looking at making my own. My mate will help me weld it up.
I just need to design it.
I wouldnt incorporate any gas lines - just 2 seperate gas bottles.

Has anyone ever made an all grain "sculpture" ???

I've been thinking about a brew 'sculpture' something like these - http://morebeer.com/public/beer/system.htm. Only I'm thinking electric HLT, esky mash tun & only gas kettle. I'm restricted for space & don't have room for a huge single tier, multi-pump wonder brewery. A sculpture could be made to fold, wheel, come-apart for storage.

Too many ideas & not enough shed space...sigh.

bloody oath mate.

thanks for the link
