Beers and Brewing.

Brew Room:

I have always wanted to insulate my under-deck area to brew beer, wine and distilling whiskey.

The area is 12 x 10 feet, waterproof, but currently not heated or insulated. The roof is corogated plastic at 6'6".

• My goal is to have a nice, clean room with:
  • ~10 carboys,
  • A few oak barrels,
  • 3 Primary Fermenters,
  • My beer kegs,
  • The still,
  • Bottles,
  • Wash basin,
  • Light,
  • Heater,
  • Ball Cocks,
  • Syphon hose,
  • Cleaners,
  • etc.
• My Plan:
  • Move all tools to the back wall, and cover in vapour barrier.
  • Glue 12 large 2 inch Dense styrofoam panels with Spray on Glue from Dylan
  • Vapour Barrier the walls.
• Questions:
  • What can I use as walls to give a finished, clean look? Something nicer than vapour barrier, yet not drivewall.
  • What other features would be nice?
