I rinse mine thorough with the hose (backflow + regular flow) and let it dry at least overnight. I put foil on the inlet & outlet for the wort, put it in a cool oven, and bake at 340 for at least an hour. I do the same thing with my bottles and haven't had any issues yet. However take this with...

That's exactly it, figured I have so little natural light I didn't want to give it up. Ended up relocating the duct today very similarly to how you suggested. It's not sealed yet, that'll be a tomorrow job along with general cleanup.

Picture of the offending duct from directly below with the window location noted - Right side of room with back to window - Middle of room with back to window - Left side of room with back to wall (you can see my brew stand up-ended along with my craptastic fermentation chamber that needs...

Left side of duct - Middle of duct (this is the one responsible for partially blocking the window) - Finally the right side of the duct where it T's off -

After two months I'm back at it. Found a few goof-ups I made while framing, those have been fixed. Now I have the last bit of framing left to do with soffit ladders/bulkheads around the ductwork in the area. Upon closer inspection I'm a bit puzzled how to handle it, the duct is within a foot or...

Nope, progress has been halted for some time. Been busy traveling lately, just got back from Dallas a few days ago. Next up heading towards Pittsburgh for the next couple weekends.

I enjoyed the hammer, pretty tasty but also a bit potent for my tastes anymore. The blonde no idea, the person working that night was anything except knowledgeable and I couldn't see the tap handle from where we were sitting. I'll keep that in mind for the next visit. It better be awesome or...

Unfortunately we didn't have much time to peel off to visit anywhere suggested. We did make it to Grapevine while looking for lunch, stopped for some wine to my wife's delight. Also went to a La Hacienda Ranch for dinner. And the only activity we really did was a trip to the book depository...

Never been to Euless, so no idea what it's like. We're visiting my wife's uncle down there who refers to it as "fab-Euless". Actually, my only experience in Dallas was about 6 hours long on a business trip where we visited a vendor down there & immediately came back (the joys of working for...

So the wife & I will be in Dallas this weekend. Can anyone recommend a good brewery/brew pub to visit? We'll be mainly in the Euless area if that helps narrow it down a bit.

I used a fence but had to remove some of those nice safety features to be able to do the cuts easily, something I really don't recommend. Yeah, I've had the itch to brew and this is starting to kill me that I haven't had enough time to get it done.

No dado unfortunately, that was a couple passes with the standard blade. Did the same for all of the joints as well, was a bit time consuming

Some vent pictures, the lighting makes them look a bit crooked but it's pretty straight and the insulation goes around the entire pipe. Vent from exterior: Vent from interior: Bonus pic of one of the things that derailed me for a bit, made it for the wife for our anniversary:

Only recent progress was last Thursday I drilled a hole for the exhaust vent, also managed to let the smoke out of my cordless drill while putting that nice 4.25" hole saw through the rim joist & sheeting. I have the lumber to finish out framing the soffit ladders but haven't been able to find...

I've been leaning towards the bumping up the system. The run is decently short. I believe the roll of 10/3 we ran was about 25' with maybe 5 to 10' left over, so I don't think this will be horribly expensive. What I'm not looking forward to is trying to route the 6/3 through the path we made, I...

Quick update on things. Currently been working on a table top for the brew stands, that has become a lot bigger project than I initially had believed. The other update is I managed to get a 50A 240V GFI breaker for the absolutely wonderful price of 50 cents. I currently am wired up with a 30A...

I think we've settled on a floor coating ourselves. We put one out in our garage with mainly color flakes to improve traction, lesson learned as it's treacherous when wet. A local store had the floor coatings on sale so I bought more than enough to do the basement plus some additive to make it...

After two weeks off I got back to it. Decided in the end to go with the suggestion of utilizing the brick wall, keeping the long one bare and took down the insulation since that wall faces the garage. Finished the last wall:

A pic of the mitigation system for S&G's. Also the future home of the bar & bathroom. Up close shot of the pipe, gotta love the radioactive symbol on it.

Brian, Those are some great suggestions. Upon closer examination of the framing setup we'd require for one of the walls we decided to pull down the insulation panels & leave that wall bare "brick". The upside is that wall is between the house & garage so the loss of insulation will be...
