Building a Brewhouse in your yard is a wonderful idea DIYRachel..... providing you have the space, your HOA (if applicable) allows it and if your municipality (if applicable) allows it. In my case, I had to answer "no" to all of the above. So, I added a wall and I build my Brewhouse in my basement. Water and drain was radially available, I had electricity and ventilation also available. I built my system which includes a hot liquor tank, two mash/lauder tuns, a 15gal. boil kettle, a pump, plate cooler, burner and everything I needed for around $3,000. The best part about it is that it makes brewing fun and not tedious as it was when I was brewing in my kitchen.
