Welcome Crew
Unfortunately both of the CBR1kF's and the 1100 live in that tiny shed in the background of this pic: (my CB550K lives in my dining room!)
The next house is gonna have a BIG garage to make up for all this time w/o!
...but since this thread is called "ManCave" I'll show off what I do have:
This is my 1 barrel brewery and (currently) 2 bbl fermenting/cellaring set-up. I left room for another 40 gal fermenter in the soon-to-be-finished yet functioning walk in refrigerator.
My buddy and I just moved the tv and what not down there to make a lounge (NES & N64 all ready to go on the 50"!!) but for the past couple years it's been all beer business down in the cave. I focus mostly on Belgian styles but I do a few others as well. The burner setup is all fabricated by my buddy who builds 500AFs for the local Honda shop. It's a direct fire natural gas setup. I can usually hammer out a 31-33 gal batch in about 6 hours as everything currently sits. That translates to 2 of the big Sankey kegs that one usually sees Miller Lite in (I also use 1/6 barrel Sankeys). The spent grain compost can usually take up a nice portion of the bed of my yota p/u!
