I Built an AMAZING Electric Home Brewery in 40 Days

[@BrewCabin]

If you have any specific questions about the brewery build, leave a comment and I’ll make a video with more detail.

[@Spanfil]

What kind of camera are you using?

[@BrewCabin]

It’s a mix between my iPhone, canon 7D, and a GoPro.

[@utopia901]

Can you provide a ballpark of how much the whole project cost?

[@BrewCabin]

@@utopia901 About $30k

[@utopia901]

@@BrewCabin thank you! Planning something like this myself. Thanks for the video!

[@TheRm65]

"Pipes In The Wall" is an instant country classic!

[@BrewCabin]

Haha!

[@ChuckUnderFire]

Dude..... your level of commitment to both the hobby, and sharing the hobby with us.... is unmatched by anyone, anywhere, on all of the internet. Also... exposed pipes is sweet. That dude did you a favor.

[@BrewCabin]

Haha! Thank you! And he did me a HUGE favor. My pipes are currently frozen. The first garage dropped to 10 degrees. But no leaks ;-) and if there were, it’s an easy fix.

[@MilesB]

Awesome vid man... SUBSCRIBED! I like where this is going. Got a feeling this channel is gonna blow up.

Dude this was freaking amazing!! you are out here living most homebrewers dreams!! Can't wait to see more of your content!!

[@BrewCabin]

Thanks! Looking forward to pumping out the jams (videos)!

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Awesome Video Matt. I was wondering where you have been (former/current Money Lab Listener) and I guess now I know. You have officially set a new standard for build videos complete with a soundtrack. Solid work and keep the content coming!

[@BrewCabin]

Hell yea! Thanks!

[@attyjim1]

Exposed pipe has a cool industrial look. No worries about the aesthetics.

[@BrewCabin]

Yea I totally agree!

[@mynameiswill]

Oh my God, Matt! 08:52 for the win! Best of the Interwebs!

Haha! Thank you. Just watched it again and I want to put this out there for no reason. I played the slide guitar using a socket wrench that I have for disassembling corny kegs 😉

2min in and you deserve so much more views. Great content and next level editing. Thanks mate, loving it

Awesome to hear, thank you! More on the way 👍🍻

Great video! Homebrew 4 Life gave your channel a shoutout! SUBSCRIBED. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos as I’m a Colorado Native.

OK ok, First off.... The fact that this turned into a music video is 100% awesome. Don't stop doin what you're doin! Awesome is an understatement.

I thought to myself about halfway through, this video is getting a little long winded... enter The Pipe Song! Blew me away, was so unexpected! I sat back and enjoyed the rest of the video! Congrats on the project and it turned out great! Sure beats the hell out of setting everything up on brew day in the garage and packing it down again on the same day! Super jelly!

[@BrewCabin]

Ha! Every one of my videos has an original song in it. I did it on this first video and it was such a hit. I've continued to do it on the rest of them.

Man that's dope! I wouldn't worry about the exposed pipes, I think that gives it a cool commercial brewery look.

[@BrewCabin]

Yea, I totally agree now!

[@Numaboi]

The production quality on this video is insane! Can’t wait till your next video!

[@BrewCabin]

Thanks, Taylor! The next video will be about RO water for brewing. Already have most of it filmed. Just fleshing out the script and getting the rest of the shots.

[@Numaboi]

Awesome! I’ll be building out my garage in a few months so I’m taking notes! Then hopefully a commercial space in 3-5 years

Awesome video and killer song. Lol! I enjoy Brew Cabin as well thanks for sharing your knowledge 🍻

[@BrewCabin]

Great to hear! Thank you 🍻

[@andyadam3620]

the good thing about exposed pipes, you see any leaks instantly, and they are available if you ever need to tap in to them for another route or source :) for a brewery - go visible every time my friend

[@BrewCabin]

Yea, I love that I can see them now. Much rather them exposed for that exact reason.

[@douglashill9506]

Excellent video. Plenty of info/detail PLUS entertainment. Rare. I look forward to seeing a video of your first brew tapped and tasted.

[@BrewCabin]

Thanks, Doug!

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Simply put - phenomenal content on your channel. Subbed and will be coming back for more! I think I speak for most homebrewers in that I'm very jealous that you have such a space custom designed literally from the ground up for brewing - but that's amazing and I'm totally going to live vicariously through that! That's the dream. I'm very excited to watch what you do with this!

[@BrewCabin]

Whoa! Thanks so much and for commenting! I love your channel, so I'm glad you found mine. You remind me of Michael Dawson because you both have confidence in homebrewing. Would love to chat sometime ;-)

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

@@BrewCabin thanks for the kind words, Dawson more or less taught me how to brew with the old BrewingTV episodes from way back, so that means a lot! Looking forward to seeing more, and feel free to reach out!

I made a Black IPA that I crushed 5 gallons of all by myself. I've been making NEIPAs, Kolsches, and random beers just to keep things interesting. I'm working on a NEIPA video as we speak. Should come out near the end of May 2021.

[@sjporr]

Totally dig watching builds. I finally built my brewery last year. Still working some details out though.

Sorry, didn't see your Instagram before publishing the comment 🤦🏽‍♂️ man that is just a lovely place, I'd stay there day in and out

Thanks! I plan on making a lot more videos that'll show all the different parts of the brewery over time. And I have an idea to do a tour video at some point too.

😂 "Pipes In The Wall" - Well done sir! Was that one of those 30-seconds of screen time for 30 hours of work? Nice touch.

Love your channel! Your videos are awesome and I can't wait for the next one. One thing that caught my eye was when you showed your reverse osmosis storage vessel and pump system into your fill faucet. I also have a storage vessel for water but not as slick as that. What vessel is that? What pump is that? Is the water always turned on to make RO water? Thanks in advance and cheers!

[@jameskocks4734]

So i read in the comments you're in Longmont. I freaking love that city! im in Dallas and have driven there so many times i know my way around town. From the Pumphouse to Chubburger to Lefthand. i forget the name of the pizza place by King Soopers but i love that place! i have been in the brewing game since 2001 and have not looked back. i have even worked at my local homebrew shop for 3 years. some day i would like to use electricity for mashing other wise my set up works as rudimentary as it is. Whats your favorite beer to brew?

[@BrewCabin]

Sweet! And I'm a big fan of Dallas. Been there a few times just to drink beer actually. Spent a lot of time in Deep Ellum. The famous pizza place around here is Beau Jos. Is that the one? My favorite beer styles to brew are Kölsch and NEIPA. Working on an NEIPA video now I hope to drop at the end of May 2021.

[@jamiecohen3233]

Awesome video. Quick question on the sink drainage.. Have you had issues with the drainasaur being able to handle small amounts of grain, etc or have you made sure the only thing going into the sink is 100% water? Otherwise, how have you been cleaning out the MLT?

[@BrewCabin]

I've had clogs. But it has a small filter built in I just had to clean out. Took 2 seconds. I don't through a ton of grain or hops down there. I dump that stuff in the yard. Little bits here and there are OK though. I clean the MLT by scooping out the grains into bucket and dump it in the compost. Then, I spray down the inside of the mash tun and let it drain into a bucket. I dump that bucket into the yard as well. Works pretty well without lifting the heavy mash tun.

[@FermentationAdventures]

Not sure is someone else asked, but how is your drain pump vented? I had a similar installed in my basement, and they plumber just vented into the basement, which means I get smelly gases back into the basement when I fill it up. From what I understand now it should be vented into the plumping stack to the roof. What did your guy do? I see it just goes thru the wall there.

[@BrewCabin]

It’s vented out the side of the brewery. The pump is right next to an outside wall.

[@shrumby7231]

A couple years later, do you have any thoughts on the pot filler? My brewery is almost complete and now trying to decide how I want to dispense the RO. Have you run into any issues using a pot filler fed from RO?

[@BrewCabin]

I love it and it was a crucial move. No issues at all so far.
