Hello to all!

While I am not new to brewing, I am anxiously waiting for the rest of my brewing equipment that I ordered to arive here at the house so I can finally go all grain.  Close to 14 years ago, while in college, I started homebrewing.  I did kit beers with some specialty grains.  Fast foreward those 14 years and I am married and the wife and I are moving to a "new house" with a garage basement (which I quickly claimed as mine).  "What, park cars in the garage?  Don't be silly dear, that is my new homebrewing/woodworking shop!  Lucky for me, I had saved what brewing equipment I had and moved it out here with us.  It's amazing how tastily addictive a hobby homebrewing is, because after starting back and doing about 6 batches of partial mash beers, I commited to making the jump to allgrain brewing. WooHooo!  BTW, Beersmith is a fantastic program and the website with this forum has made things all the easier to understand and follow.

Sounds like a great plan.  And welcome to the BS forum.

I recently bought a place in the country and it has a tuck under garage. I will be using it as a garage as the place also has an old ingle stall garage with an addition on the back for my wood working/brewery.

Good luck
 
Grats on the new brewery/Shop. I am in the begining stages of building a house and will have a seporate shop/brewery. So far the plans have changed slightly, but here is the latest version of the shop/brewery. It looks like it is still about 1 year before we actually move in, but should be everything I wanted. The plans may still change but this is the basic idea.

Cheers
Preston

You're actually closer to MALT in Asheville if you're looking for a good club.
