BACK YARD OASIS

Turn your backyard into a brewpub with a brew shed! The craft beer boom has turned home brewing into a mainstream hobby where folks are brewing beer in their home like it’s going out of style. Why not add a flare to your home brewing endeavor and create a brew shed in your backyard? A place where you can not only brew your own craft beer but also share it with your friends and family. At first glance, it’ll look like just your normal backyard shed, the kind you’d fill with garden tools, outdoor gear, and other random junk. Upon further inspection, your friends and family will be wowed that your shed has everything necessary to brew and serve beer. A five to six-gallon brewing system is feasible to start brewing from scratch. If you’re really trying to get fancy you could consider electrical and plumbing but that will increase your cost. With a brewing area, you’ll have to have an exhaust fan because your initial use will consist of propane. It’s also important to keep in mind how relative temperature control is, malted grain has to be stored between 50 and 70 degrees, hops should be kept frozen and yeast needs to be stored in a fridge. Some brew sheds double as a bar and a hangout, some feature a sort of ‘man cave’ theme. Turning a shed into a brewing space will give you the perfect place to store your equipment and create mouth-watering ales without polluting your living quarters. This is the perfect project for all the craft beer lovers out there!

She Sheds are the new ‘Man Cave’ as women around the country are transforming their backyard sheds and structures into “She Sheds.” A quiet place to read, conduct crafts, and other hobbies suitable to the space, she sheds are redefining your typical backyard shed. Some sheds start with a pre-fab kit but others repurpose an existing backyard structure to make it their own. These sheds can be writer’s nooks, an art studio, a gardening shed or just a place for a peaceful nap; away from the clutter and chaos. A recent study showed 45% of Americans retreat to their parked car to get some peace and quiet; people are actively seeking alternative spaces to be themselves. A she shed gives a woman a sense of ‘home’ just outside of her own house.

HERE ARE THE TOP 5 USES OF A SHE SHED:

1. She Office –A personal office space outside the home! 2. She Art Studio –Store all ofyour art supplies and get inspired! 3. She Garden –Sow your seeds, store tools and pot your plants! 4. She Retreat –A place to relax, have coffee or tea, maybe even take a nap! 5. She Gym –a place to do a home workout with no distractions! The She Shed redefines personal space for women, a backyard escape, and a refuge of comfort. Imagine an area that is all yours, decorate the way you want and a place with no interruption and no responsibility to pick up a mess you did not make!
