The Hoffinmier Brewery

Hello All,
This is a project I started about 3 months ago, but got side tracked from. I am going to post photos of the entire build as I go along.
The freight doors are scratch built from wood...
Thanks for taking a look...

Very interesting project - I will be following along.

Looking good , love that kettle, is it a casting ?

[fsmcollector67]

the kettle is scratch as well, made from round wood disks bought at michaels crafts, and sanded down. the base is just brass sheet glued to the top disk. the tube is brass, and the smaller pipes are brass. the gauges, and valve are from old military models.

Here are the latest photos of the build.....did something different this time, added a little carmel ink stain over the nail holes to represent rusting nails, not sure about it, but it breaks up the walls a little and adds some detail......next up is going to be a stone brew house section....Tune in next week, same time same channel...

Here are the brew house walls. They are CC Crow castings, and the header stones had to be cut and added. The stone work is painted, these photos are prior to weathering.
I use a method that I picked up from a website called New England Brownstone, called Leopard spot, that uses a sponge, works quite well for stone......Thanks for looking.

I also started to play around with wood shingles, that are made from wood paper that is .010 thick birch. Not sure about them yet, let me know what you think, and if it is worth covering a roof with them......

Really nice work Loren.
Personally I love the weathering on the stairs, is an excellent detail

The stonework looks great as do the shingles.
