One recommendation and an early one I advise making…
Get an outdoor propane boiler. The crab pot boilers work great and are about 50 bucks.
If you have a boilover or a spill (and you will) it’s a royal mess to clean up off a kitchen stove and floor. That shit is sticky. But if you are doing it outside? Hose it down when you need to.
Second, kitchens are multi use in demand spaces. Brewing takes up much of both time and space. It’s better for the house to do it outside.
Third, if you do it in your driveway you’ll have people come up and ask you what you are doing, and you’ll create unwitting recipients for the inevitable excess of beer you’ll end up generating should you stick with the hobby.
Also, a crab boiler/outdoor stove can be used for other things beyond brewing.

does -15C have any effects on brewing beer in the driveway?

If you can get to the target temperatures for your recipe, it’s not really a problem for the beer. Now for the brewer…

Nope! Just did it a few days ago with a setup mentioned in another comment here.

It’s a significant factor on the energy consumption for sure.
