this is where my house water comes from

We looked at a house in MO that still had a working spring house.

Fermenter?

I thought about this since the temperature is always cool in there........but it is just too dirty and damp inside.

very cool. what is that little bird house on top?

^that's my hobby.........or rather my PASSION.

Building very intricate birdhouses.

Let me get this straight! You get your water from an outhouse?

hmmmm... I bet shrooms would grow good in there...

looks mighty earthquake proof to me!

but why do you need a special building to store springs?

^well you can't store the matresses in there they would get wet.....DUH!

LOL!

Andy, if you brew, that would be a great place to ferment lagers and such. Just set a small table to put your fermenting vessel on. It would be sealed so no worries. I'd do it....great idea.

^It's been tried.

1) We did 15gal batches..........sort of heavy to be lugging through the yard.

2) It is dirty....I mean DIRTY in there. Bug city. Always damp.......drips coming off the ceiling......dust everywhere..........muddy floor.

3) Most importantly, the temperature is MORE stable in there, but not stable enough....or low enough in the summer, to promote a good lager fermentation/aging cycle.

wish i had an earth-contact house. nicer than that, of course, but i would LOVE one!

Perfect place to tell a scary story to little kids and creep them out !

^

do you live in heaven or something?!

^Way better than the desert, huh?

I wouldn't say that...

Really? Look at all that green. Did you see the pond he lives near, also?

What a great place to raise kids.

pond= mosquitoes and andyperson with oar about to whack wifey in head
