I’ve been brewing my own beer for years, but doing a ninety-minute rolling boil of five gallons of wort in the kitchen has never made me the most popular person in the house so when the thermostat on the boiler died I decided to have a rethink of how I did everything. I came up with a plan to move everything to an insulated shed in the garden which would solve the issues with steaming up the kitchen (not to mention the occasional sticky floor) and allow me to organise all my kit in one place rather than storing it all over the house. My son christened the shed “The Beer Shack”.
The following pictures show the start of the project, before the EPDM roof went on and waiting to fill the walls with insulation before lining the inside.
