Hello. After a few batches of scattering homebrew stuff all around the house I managed to convince "the boss" to allow me to setup a brewery in a storage room. The only problem is that it is a tiny space, roughly 3.7m2 (40 square ft)
Of course I want to cram as much stuff in there as possible, but as I am very new to this I wanted to see if anyone has any advice on setting up shop in a tiny room.
I made a sketch of 3 layouts I came up with.
All of them house a fermentation chamber, a sink and the brew kettle in some way, which felt like the "must haves".
The sink will have a tank (bucket) underneath since there is no drain present so I cant really store much underneath it.
Overall I havent accounted for much storage, but I'm hoping to store a lot of the small stuff either mounted to the wall, mount some shelves up high, or worst case, store things in another room.
1:
A small sink, keezer and a dedicated space for the brew kettle
2:
Large sink, dedicated space for brew kettle. No keezer - I will have to carry stuff back and forth to the keezer (Wherever I manage to place it)
3:
Large sink and keezer, but no dedicated space for the brew kettle. On brew day it just lives in the middle of the room = almost no space to move around in.
None of these examples have any counter space, though the larger sink may be sized down to allow for some counter space. I am also hoping the keezer is able to double as a temporary counter sometimes.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Am I completely stupid? Which one would you pick, or would you do something else entirely? Thankful for any help!
