Okay so I'm thinking on a new brew stand design and before I build it wanted some input. Here is a basic image
So with this design the MLT would basically sit on the floor, this is fine since I have a cooler. Advantages would be i don't have to pick it up and it would be easy to stir and mix. I would hook a pump directly to the outlet of the MLT and pump to the top of the BK this will be used for re circulation and just moving wort before boil. During re circulation wort / sparge water would gravity feed into the MLT. After the boil the pot is at enough height to gravity into a fermenter. With this setup the height never gets more than a single tier but you save on a pump. All the other two tier brutus 20 builds ive seen look like this:
Old Common Design
where the mash tun is at or above your height making it hard to see and stir. What do you guys think?
New Design
