Amazing, sounds like you’ve done a whole lot of planning for it
Hehe. A lot of 'thinking about', not a huge amount of planning yet. It seems so far away, tbh, so at the moment I'm just compiling a list of 'stuff that needs to happen before I can even begin actual planning'. That said, I'm also thinking about stuff like how to treat rainwater to potentially use it in the beer, how I can treat the wastewater and what I could use it for and what I'm going to do with the spent grain/hops. In short, a bit scattergun at the moment.

Amazing, sounds like you’ve done a whole lot of planning for it and found an area that would tick all the boxes! Good luck in your search for the perfect spot! Feels like the kind of place a farmer may offer some old buildings they don’t us anymore for sale for you to renovate or something. Loads of good kit companies in Europe that you wouldn’t have to pay huge tax and fees on if they’re going to France which could be a good option if you find a good wee spot of land too. It’s probably different there with the climate, but I’m so glad we went for a new build rather than renovating as I feel it would have been a constant fight with old buildings to stop them being damp or cold.
Really excited to hear more about this as it progresses!!
We got cracking on again yesterday, 8mm ply nailed at 75mm centres (phew..) on the gable ends for rigidity. Then we started on the walls which are fermacell fire barrier board because of all the batteries and power electronics. Fitted all the full boards and started on corners yesterday and dad and I will do all the other bits today before they head off this afternoon.
We also fitted 18mm ply to the back wall for where all the inverters and batteries will be mounted.
The joiner also finished the last run of cladding on the workshop!! Just needs to router a couple of the corners and then the flashings and solar panels should be going on on Monday which is pretty exciting, we’re getting close!!
