    true. no need to brew 5,000 gallons like those guys do. Just a small one will do. I'll have to do some research and see how much work it really is. I would have no problem hiding it back there

    making the mash seems to be the hardest part. after that it's just heating it to 172 degrees and collecting the steam and cooling it with a worm.
