Properly sloped floors are a must in the brewery and here we pitched them 1/4" per foot to the center trench drain. This is the wettest part of the brewery and it is also the area that requires the highest level of sanitation. Once the concrete sets, we'll be laying quarry tile on top that will clean up well and withstand the rigors of brewery abuse. The stairs you see will lead down to the serving cellar and eventually we'll install a staircase up to the brewhouse on the first floor.
Up next week is the rest of the underground plumbing system in the basement including floor drains, drain tile and the sump. That would be a great band name: Sump.
