New indoor brewery and 'cellar'

[Jim]

It's a bit strange. Even though I attached all the orphaned attachments to my post, only one appears when I open it in edit mode. Not sure what's going on.

Thanks again Jim.

What confuses me is why the photos show up when I preview the post, but then disappear when I click on 'submit'.

Today's update. All cupboards and worktop fitted, beer cupboard nearly there. Should be done by Monday, then the cooler gets fitted later in the week.

The web site's done it again. All three photos showing on the preview, only one after pressing submit.

So, here's the second one.

[guypettigrew]

And the third one. Can someone PLEASE help me with getting more than one photo into a post?

[Jim]

OK, I think I've got it.

The second time I got the same result as you - 3 files added, only one appears. The difference was that in the one that didn't work I clicked the 'preview' button before I clicked the 'post' button. The first time I didn't and it worked OK.

Seems to me like (unless I was just lucky the first time) there's a bug in the phpBB software related to previewing posts with multiple attachments (so don't use preview). I've tried the same thing multiple times in a non-public test forum and that seems to be it though.

EDIT: I've taken out my 2 'test' posts so as not to disrupt the flow of the thread too much.

Thanks Jim

Right, just click 'post'. More photos on Monday, when the job should be finished, and I'll try to remember not to preview!

Did you get the units from `Wren Kitchens`? 50% sale plus 25% off everything!

That’s a serious fan you have got there.

Yup, should be able to change the air in the garage (5m x 3m x 2m) twice a minute.

I need one of those in the ensuite.

impressive work, congrats!
1 questions:
- did you design a big sink to clean the tools indoor?

Can't wait to see the Fermenters and chiller

[guypettigrew]

Some more pictures. These show the finished 'cellar' which is large enough to hold three King Kegs. It's insulated all round with 50mm Celotex, ply and covered with food grade acrylic sheet.

Other photo show the cooling plate which will be fitted tomorrow, and the SS housing for the compressor for the cooling plate.

More tomorrow.

Forgot to say. There's still some draught excluder to be fitted to isolate the top part of the cupboard from the bottom part when the doors are closed.

And, in case you're wondering, the large shelf to hold the kegs is lifted off the shelf below so a pint glass can get under the tap!

Crikey - is that whole space dedicated to brewing?! That's quite a brewshed. How come you are not putting some taps in and using corneys or Sankey kegs? And a beer engine / cask set up too? May as well just build a pub with all that space

[guypettigrew]

The final photos.

The indoor 'cellar' is now operational, just needs some tweaking of the thermostat. It's running a few degrees colder than necessary.

The brewing and fermenting equipment goes nicely along the worktop next to the cellar. I'm hoping the huge industrial fan will be able to cope with the steam from the boil.

There's no water in the brewery. To have some water and drainage plumbed in would have been very complicated and, therefore, very expensive. Hoses will be used for getting brewing water to the HLT and for getting cooling water to the immersion chiller.

It's only possible to post five photos at once, so the next post will have the fermenter and the kegs in the cupboard.

The fermenting set up and one full keg and two empty kegs in the cupboard.
