HOME BREWERY TOUR Electric Brewery | 10K SPECIAL

Welcome to my brewery! A couple years ago I moved into a new house and started building a brewery on one wall of my two car garage. Over time this brewery has been tweaked and updated and that continues to this day. The brewery is incredibly functional and doesn’t get in the way of everything else I need to do in my garage.
In this video I’ll show you around the brewery and give you some tips for optimizing your own brewing space. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Thanks for watching over the last couple years! We’re just getting started! 🤘🏼🍻

[@MikeS29]

I'm in the process of outfitting my brewery and just searched for Home Brewery Tour and found your channel. Subscribed! Thanks 🙂

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Welcome aboard! 🍻🍻

[@pestbarn]

This setup is so clean, I'm very impressed! I just hope that homebrewers aspiring to go pro knows that things will never be this nicely organized in a brewery 🙂

[@loveGODlikebeerlivetoserve]

Excellent! We have a garage brewery/neighborhood pub that we’ve used for almost 7yrs now. Your setup is outstanding. Cheers!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Awesome! Have you made a tour video? I’d love to check it out!

[@Jaylucky777]

Bro, great setup. It's appreciated to point out that it's not always glamorous, but it's worth it.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks dude 🙏🏼🍻

[@flyingwombattv]

Damn, we need a setup like this one day!

[@jongerenski1545]

I’d kill for a space like that! Can’t wait to see the next brewing video.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Tuesdays video was a cold IPA if you haven’t seen it yet kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4K2npShabBneJY

[@sk8nchill52]

Super cool. I need to send you a picture of my bin of brew stuff I have in the garage. It’s a minimalists dream! Also, no space for a real brewery dream! 🤣

[@MinnesotaFats]

Really well thought out. I work off a rolling stainless steel cart. I brew outside then wheel my cart into my John Deere room in my house. Next purchase is a utility sink. Running a hose in the winter is tough where I live.

[@ryanmichaelcarter]

Awesome space, man! 🍻🍻🍻

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks dude!

[@ItzDvl]

The pegboard template is cool af dude

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks man

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Congrats on the 10K, it's well deserved! I love seeing how other folks set up their brewing space!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks dude!

[@PatrickSandy78]

Great setup. Congratulations on the milestone.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks for your support Patrick!

[@pauldavies8314]

Trying to make room for brewing in my garage but been scratching my head on how to include everything I need. This is good insight and I appreciate the production value and dedication to the channel. Keep it up!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thank you! 🍻

[@BitterRealityBrewing]

Thanks for sharing, as I didn't realize how much space I might have under a future sink and although I did consider storage space up high, I didn't think about that area being useful over the sink too. Now, if my builder will get his act together and actually finish my house, I might be able to put some of what I've learned to use. Also, a side note on the two Tilt Hydrometers I noticed in the drawer, consider storing them upright, and the batteries will last years. Congrats and Cheers on the 10k!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks for the tip! I thought it was upright or flat I’m gonna go stand them up right now lol

[@shaggaroo]

@@HopsANDgnarly yup Tilt battery is off when they’re vertical

[@dh9478]

@@shaggaroo What? From the Tilt FAQ site: "Q. How do I turn off the Tilt when I'm not using it? A. The Tilt will go into sleep mode when you're not brewing to save battery life. Simply stand the Tilt up or lay it on its side and it will shut off automatically."

[@shaggaroo]

@@dh9478 good to know, I must have missed that part of the manual

[@finspin4984]

Great use of space

[@malzundhopfen]

[@turnergerald]

Cool set up.

[@kevinssilentfishing7292]

Sweet garage

[@Monstaficator]

This is a good video !!! mayn I am planning to turn my garage into a brewery then you popped up, it definitely got me pumped, if I got any questions or know any videos related ,please holla back, How can I get a hold of you bro so that I can also send you the dimensions of my garage , then what I can do buy etc etc ???

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks man! 🍻

Thanks!

[@rivrivrivera2916]

Dan , I’m in awe of all your nice equipment . You’ve invested a lot in what you have , it’s not cheap . What you give back is awesome knowledge that is really helpful . Cheers !!!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thank you! I appreciate your support!

[@DFDSArt]

Love this brewery :) thanks for showing it to us, good Inspiration for my planed build of my own. Not having to bring all the Equipment outside, having everything ready for the next Batch, having the posibility to clean up all the equipment at the same place where you brew, thats just perfect and safes so much time for me. Thanks for All your videos, by the way you are the only Brewtuber with Not only having a good taste in beer, but in music, too! ;)

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Stoked you enjoyed! Cheers!

[@Brandon-tq7rs]

Great setup! What material is that little chute under your mill? Love that idea.

[@KnobbyWobby]

Now show us the mess 😅 Dream setup

[@TroubleBrewing]

Gratz on 10k! Always like checking out your videos, how many beers do you typically have going at once? You have a ton of bucket fermenters lol.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks! Yea when these grain to glass videos get going it gets a little crazy! I'm usually brewing two and packaging two in the same weekend so I need at least four fermenters and I'll mix in some long fermenting projects. Recently I've been using the conical tanks which is why most of the buckets are up there.

[@ElementaryBrewingCo]

You’ve got a sweet set up for sure! I really need to clean my garage up and get more functional with my brew space!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks! You should man it looks like a good amount of space in there

[@michaelroberts5587]

Thanks Dan I am about to rearrange my own home brew space and you have just given me a few tips I didn’t think of Thank you Ps love watching your videos

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Awesome! Stoked to hear it 🙌🏼🍻

[@Jason-rg3zm]

Awesome stuff Dan! Really like the pegboards! Also well done on reaching 10k, let's go 100k!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Let's go!

[@TunirBf]

This is a Very good video

[@nissandjacobsen]

Congrats on reaching 10k, been digging the channel for a while! The brewing space is super cool, and I am also impressed by the sheer amount of awesome gear you have for an 'amateur' brewer. Haven't seen that many connections outside of a brew store before

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thank you! Pretty wild how it all adds up over time

[@jaggersbrewingco]

Dude awesome video! Very nice set up too! Got some ideas for when I'm finally able to have a dedicated nice space.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks dude!

[@Hellbrews]

Great Video Dan, I love how neat & functional your brewing space is, Cheers 🍻🍻🍻

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks dude! 🤘🏼🍻

[@JohnFrytag]

Sorry but this is not at all “gnarly”. Organized and efficient would describe it! Gonna have to watch again!👍

[@jonahjobin9957]

Thanks for this super informative video Dan. Been following your videos for a while now and its always Grade A content! Cheers.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks for watching! 🍻

[@shaggaroo]

Congrats brother! I’ll be that guy and ask - how much do you actually have invested in your brewery? I’m impressed!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks man! The initial build was only maybe $300 but with all the equipment it starts to add up. The brewtools gear is getting towards 4k I would guess with some of the things I’m adding right now not to mention the fermenter. Little by little it starts adding up

[@shaggaroo]

@@HopsANDgnarly definitely the cost creeps up on you… I’m envious of all that stainless…

[@bastiencissoire3510]

Great vidéo as always dude, Thanks a lot! Do you have any idea of the total cost or budget ? It all looks like great gear !

[@HopsANDgnarly]

It all adds up over time but it’s usually just a couple hundred here and there and an occasional big upgrade. The brewtools gear is probably the biggest investment

[@michaelmassey5741]

I can't remember where you are located, but where I'm at in Texas it's almost impossible to brew in late July to August outside because of the heat. I put mine in the separate 3rd car garage to get some air flow. Love your setup. Where does your sink drain? Do you just run a hose outside?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Denver, CO! Yep just run it outside

[@jackhandy7237]

Great setup! I am totally jealous! Also, congratulations on the 10k subs! One question, where did you get the music for the end of your videos? I really like that music!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks! All the music comes from Epidemic Sound and there should be a couple links in the description where you can learn more and listen to my playlists

[@Dr.Toboggan]

How do you like the Anvil SS fermenters? Looks like you have a few.

[@beeroquoisnation]

Well assembled gear in a great looking workspace. Every brewer loves brewhouse porn. We get to pick and choose what will work for our individual needs and bring it home. I suspect this vidya will get some traffic for sure. Well done.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thank you! Cheers 🍻

[@RideAlongTexas]

Great video. I gotta say that you missed a golden opportunity to insulate that wall before you covered it.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

You’re so right! The next brewery will need to be temperature controlled

[@cleddy-qx9vx]

Awesome video and space Dan, where did you get your wire rack that you use to dry hoses, thanks!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thank you! I think it was from a place called World Market

[@PartyTimeBrewing]

Congrats on the 10k! Great looking setup, I like the pegboard idea, looks way better integrated. I'm in the process of making my space much more usable now, but probably won't look as good as that for a while. For some reason I never thought of getting an actual toolbox for the storage, those Husky ones are great. Final thought... When are you going to shotgun the Billy Beer?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks dude! You ever seen someone do a strikeout up there in the great white north?

[@PartyTimeBrewing]

@@HopsANDgnarly Only Fink in Beerfest! That is a legendary move I'm not sure I could handle... Cheers!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

@@PartyTimeBrewing hahaha yes! If only there was still beer in the Billy can! 🍻

[@danielbegay1845]

Love the video. I haven’t brewed in a minute but I’m getting ready to get back into it. How do you manage the low temps in the garage during the winter months?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

For the fermenters I have a space heater in there but for me I just have to put a coat on

[@jeremyghunter]

"Just like yours" * cries in English Edwardian terrace with literally no built in storage, let alone garage * Seriously though, this is the real inspiration porn.

[@fleetside58]

@hopsandgnarly how do you handle draining and rinsing our your mash tun? I have a plumber coming over tomorrow to discuss plumbing the garage for this very same reason. I don't mind feeding fresh water using an RV hose, but the drain is the main issue. What about your spent grain?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

I connect the bottom drain of my B40 to an RV hose and push it out to a settling pad that we made by layering different size rocks and gravel. It does get clogged up occasionally but connecting fresh water to it will free things up. Once everything is rinsed out I run PBW then fresh water and that all gets dumped using the same hose. I'd be curious to hear advice from a plumbing professional on this. A floor drain would be cool to have but I think debris from the kettle would royally mess that up. I believe breweries just use those big 1.5" TC hoses for this so maybe all you need is a thicker hose

[@fleetside58]

@@HopsANDgnarly dumped to city sewer?

[@EricVandenAkker]

Where does the sink drain? And how cold does it get in there, is freezing a concern?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

I usually just stick a bucket under there but I also have a pvc piece I can use to drain into the driveway. It definitely gets super cold so I just use a quick connect and connect it only when I’m using it

[@raulromero6462]

What IP are your outlets?

[@TravGnome]

Do you have a link to that sink?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

No sorry I got it second hand on FB Marketplace

[@TravGnome]

@@HopsANDgnarly Awesome! I was interested in the "hose water powered" aspect of it, because I don't want to run legitimate plumbing for mine, but will figure it out and piece it together. Beautiful setup you've got, thank you for sharing.
