So, basically make sure there's plenty of ventilation, and use a CO detector.

Garage is an attached three car with a window and back door, so ventilation won't be a problem. I've already got a couple fire extinguishers out there, since I do auto work out there those aren't optional.

I'd guess you'll be fine. I'm brewing in my attached greenhouse, which isn't much bigger than a one-car garage. I open the window and the window in the screen door (not even the door itself) and the meter has never even chirped.

Beer is like porn. You can buy it, but it's more fun to make your own.

I might be sensitive and/or my burner might not be efficient, because I can't get away with this... I feel pretty crummy, light headed dizzyish when I burn in the garage.  Outdoors for me, it's usually more enjoyable out there anyway!

Well I scored a used brewing sculpture for a price that was too good to pass up. Since it has wheels, I don't intend to brew in the garage. Any vapors, and sticky messes, will be out in the driveway.
Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.

And don't buy stale beer.
