Kal,
Just wanted to say that I'm building a new house and got the damn engineer laughing when I gave them the spec's for my beer brewing room.

My Girlfriend hates you! But i'm sure alot of them do lol

Will post pic's as the build continues. What size duct would you recommend since i'm building a new brew room?

That is funny. It's a good thing my wife just wishes I would get done with the build, but she loves the idea of great home brew. Girl friends can be replaced Laughing

For the ventilation? Always best to use the largest duct size you can (within reason). A 6" duct to go with the 6" fan (assuming you use the same one I do) is great. I wouldn't bother with anything larger. Mine's all 6" except for the last foot or so through the wall. That's only 4". That works fine too but if I was building from scratch I'd put in 6" all the way.

For more info read my article on ventilation: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/ventilation

More specifically, read the tips here: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/ventilation?page=6

Too funny...! I've been in a similar boat here for a while now. I've been wanting to re-org the basement in order to get my brewing out of the kitchen/garage. I've been resistant to the prospect of moving to a new house but mommy's been teasing me with the idea of building a new house that will incorporate a special 'brewery' in the basement.

Looks like we're moving.

They sure know how to get us to do what they want us to do. I thought $2600 was a lot for a home brewery, but to build a house around one has to be a record. LOL, Castermmt Mug
