Remolding my basement, my wife I insisted I add a brew room! The pics are my brew room door, not installed yet and my logo on beer glasses! Our lives include adventures from backpacking to travel from western mountains to other countrys, hence, the brew room is our next adventure!!

Im thinking it may be something else, you seem to be taking more precautions than I did. About two years ago, I moved a to a new home, started brewing beer and the longer it aged, the worse it was. Dumped every batch I brewed since moving and I brew 15 gal batches. Finaly had a water test...
