Getting organized

[Corn Cracker]

It's been almost 20 years in the world's but we finally cleared everyone's stuff that wasn't ours as well as everything we dont need anymore and I ended up with a3 car car garage that's about to have a wood/metal craft station, a lawn and garden section and tiny micro distillery. It's not done yet but it's headed in the right direction.

I've got 2 columns, a riser, 3 product condenseds, a steam rig set up, coils for cooling, a new parrot and a few other things, some still need to finished and cleaned but they are all hanging on that peg board instead of here and there around the general area.

Got a double oven for holding 8gl pots of mash at temp for an hour, going to build a new still cabinet after i find a drop in counter top stove to mash on, beside that i got another 2 inch keg to use for steam, a 3 inch keg, 21 corny keg, 1 corny thumper and a keggle i made that i have plans for rotisserie to use to toast/ roast grains in. A lot of work left to do but it's getting there

Nice! Your distillery is well organized and tidy, CC! Looks great.

That looks like fun! Is anything better than a work shop combined with our other favorite activities? Great copper collection, too.

Whenever I'm feeling low, some time spent in my workshop fixes that right up. My wife doesn't mind, it keeps me home and not out doing anything genuinely stupid.

Have fun with it!

Looking good. It's great to have space of our hobbie.
Next is water in and waste out.

Nice Coppersmithing Corn Cracker.

your trade as a plumber would put you streets ahead with copper manufacturing equipment.

Nice work Corny
Love the way you have separated it from the other half of the garage .
I was gonna ask if that was a Guitar Amp and Speaker Stack but figured that was the dual oven you mentioned .

Not sure if the Noose is a good look

sir it gets a little crazy around here at times jkjk, that was supporting the 3 inch build as I was getting it put together, although it's been there since I built my BBQ pit, it was used for the same concept.

I got into wood working as a kid and when
I went into a buddies garage when I was like 17, his dad had a carpentry workshop set up in there with a welder and curing torch set up in the corner and I've wanted that ever since well, fast forward 40 years and I'm about to have it, lathe, compound miter chop saw, table saw, router table, scroll saw, drill press even a dust collection system, electric hand planer...... the works. Ive been picking stuff up for this as I found it for the past 2 decades in hopes I could get this done.

We moved in 19 years ago and the fam noticed the 3 car garage, between my mom, my wife's mom and my late grandmother-in law needing to store stuff, they left me with 1 bay of a big, 3 car garage. Told the fam it's been 20 years and a flood had occurred since then, i want my garage back. Nobody wanted any of it so I ordered and filled a big roll off dumpster with all of it and some other stuff from the garage apartment our son rents from us.
I'm gonna take my time and get it all set up, hopefully by the end of November.

Nice! Your distillery is well organized and tidy, CC! Looks great.

Pal all of your distillation projects and I believe your the only one I've heard ever refer to their shed as their distillery really lit a fire under my butt to get this going and get a little more serious about the hobby. I'm past the intro stage and I really enjoy it, as long as I don't ferment in the house the wife don't mind, we are homebodies the past few years after some pretty fun and wild years of road trips and partying so, anything that keeps me home and occupied is ok with her.

That sounds pretty much like me and my missus. Going out and doing the town is not happening much these days. She's happy I've got a hobby and she has her hobbies. Kids are moved out. And calling it a man cave sounds grungy

CC, I am honestly full on envious of your workshop/distillery.

I have a single car garage that has to contain all of the things of any value for my hobbies, and it's a lot of hobbies!

My place is truly embarrassing compared to that, and I can only dream...

Mine was a complete embarrassment, i only have 1 buddy that I would let go in there with me, ironically, he is the most judgmental friend I have
