At long last, after 3 years of interference from real life, the Brewing space is done! Inaugural brew was just completed.
What follows is my build thread. It will cover the room construction for now, with my brewing rig coming later - my rig is currently 30 amp, but eventually I'll upgrade it all to 50 amp. Funding for that is delayed, since the room construction took up the budget for now! I did plan for it, so the 240V circuit for the rig is 6 gauge.
Some special thanks to the following HBT members for their help and inspiration along the way:
Attached are the plans showing the framing, plumbing, and electrical - I used these to get the permits. Photos of construction to follow.

- @BrunDog for putting up with endless questions, BruControl, and his 2V setup.
- @augiedoggy for his ideas on long RIMS heating elements.
- @highland_brewer for all the construction videos of your basement brewery (you are directly responsible for the floor drain!)
