Thanks to this post I just spent an hour looking at grow kits, because growing shrooms at home is one project I’ve been meaning to get into for years. Thinking I’ll try growing some on the balcony this year.
Brewing also still waiting in the special interest pipeline. I’ve made kombucha, kefir, kvass, simple home beer and mead, but the real brewing process seems complicated and hard to do in an apartment building. But I would love to make some apple cider or something one day.
I think you’d be surprised how many all in one brewing units are small enough to fit in a closet and take up little space when not in use. Vevor makes a cheap but serviceable 120v system that I believe is around 200USD and is the size of a pony keg or so when not in use. Then you would need stackable buckets for fermentation.
For serving I prefer kegging over bottling. Admittedly both take up space but there are ways to dual purpose the space used for a kegerator.
I’m helping a younger coworker figure out his apartment space and budget needs so I’ll keep you (or any one interested) in the loop, if you like.
Amazing. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks so much for the tips. Will definitely follow along if you post about this more.
