I thought this was going to be a thread about fermenting practices from the 1970’s....disappointed.

Almost two years later the world's most expensive homebrew system is.......?

I plan to brew sometimes (winter and other weather conditions) in my shower. There is an exhaust fan, a drain and a water supply. I'll be using a 110 ebiab setup so power is easy as well.

I have yet to check this place out, but someone is opening a homebrew shop in Wahpeton. Here is the link for their Facebook page. Please don't take this as an endorsement!

Thanks, for the reply. I doubt the common response will be - I did so well on my first competition that I stopped! I get it though.
