Stand Changed

So I am going to totally change my brew stand. Ive seen another stand that was three tier. The middle tier was longer for a rectangle shaped cooler, instead of enough room for a keg style Mash tun. I don't want a three tier system...but i like the middle section.Plus  I'm short so the height is a factor, also I plan on pumping fluid around the brewery. So changing from my original plan of a single tier system, this will now be a two tier system. The middle space will be taller for my mash tun, and the two outer sections will house the two burners at a lower height.. These burner stands will have two legs on one end and hooks on the inner side to hook onto the main middle section.The new design will allow room enough in the middle frame itself to store the two kegs and the two outer burner stands. Thus solving a dilemma I was going to just live with, SPACE... Self storage built in the brew frame. Nice...

Here is a quick sketch:

Fittings for the KEGS!!!

At work last week I entered a customers apartment to work on their alarm system. Sitting right on the floor in the middle of the kitchen, was a keg of beer. Made me think about the two I have sitting around that are just waiting for some work to be done to them. So I made the list of the fittings I will need to make the MT HLT and Kettle. I had been looking at a homebrew forum for something else when a link in someones title info caught my eye. www.bargainfittings.com. This site is totally dedicated to converting kegs and brew pot into what you are looking for, At least it seems that way. They don't have a ton of items for sale but they have the right pieces. And Wonderful prices. Everything is 304 stainless steel. Let me tell you the amount of pieces needed add up really quickly. total is 208+5 for shipping..   5 Flat for shipping.... SWEET... Time to order...


P.S. I have no affiliation with bargainfittings.com

Not yet ready to build!!!

I've come across most of the metal I will need for the frame, At least the more expensive pieces. So with a basic design down its time to start taking some measurements and planning my cuts. This is kinda hard to do since there is absolutely no room in my garage.With the loss of a dear friend, I received a lot of tools and garage equipment, along with the big engine lift, stand, and parts cleaner Ive been keeping and my fathers garage. When he downsized, I had to move it all. Time do some spring cleaning...
