Getting one of these as SWMBO wont let me brew indoors. Can double as a shade for barbeques and the like in the summer :)

Link works for me - I also have a "brewzebo" for use until my shed is done - I haven't got sides on mine though, although I might get some - might also cover it inside and out with fabsil to stop it going manky.

Nice idea! I have been considering something in the garden as my wife isn't overly happy about me brewing indoors and i only have a small garden so didn't want half of it taken up with a big shed.

Ha, my x gave me the ultimatum after my first ag attempt in the kitchen i was brewing on the patio after that till i moved into a real shed.. the brewzebo looks like a grand compromise tho closed up condensation will be an issue,
how many litres do you expect to boil off?? best to encourage a through draft to carry the steam out, if ignored electrical connections could become susceptible to drip down
ist update for months n months..
Fermnting: not a lot..
Conditioning: nowt
Maturing: Challenger smash, and a kit lager
Drinking: dry one minikeg left in the store
Coming Soon Lots planned for the near future nowt for the immediate :(

ha, my wife was fed up after my first AG brew, but only moaned this weekend after my second!
You can remove or unzip the sides of the `brewzebo' so that should be fine for getting a bit of air circulation going.

Seriously considering this now, especially as it could double up for other uses, therefore making it easy to justify the cost :)

I got a cheap popup one from Germany - our "main" gazebo is popup, and is a fair bit sturdier, but was about £150 - this one is easily good enough and only cost 30-odd quid :) If you haven't used one before - the popup ones are well worth the extra, you can put the thing up on your own in under 5 minutes, or less than that if you have a helper.

I might just use some plastic for sides, as I'll only want one side on behind the collapsible table with all the gear on anyway.

The one in my link there is 54 quid for 2x2 m and has 4 removable sides. Its not much more for a 3x3 but our garden would struggle with that and SWMBO's pop up greenhouse. (sorry for anyone getting Deja Vu!) :)

With a bit of practice you can probably put it up on your own, it's a case of opening it a bit from the middle, moving each leg out a bit, rinse and repeat.

I used the brewzebo for the first time over the weekend - went really well. The only annoyance was the forecast for Sunday was really good so I left it out, and it then chucked it down nearly all day :evil: Luckily the sun came out mid-afternoon, and it was blowing a gale, so managed to get it dried and put away Sunday night.
