Talk about convenience in brewing.... I like to brag about the ability to take a leak outside my garage on a brewday... but this takes it to a whole new level!

You better not ever, ever, EVER make a bad batch or your buddies are going to have a field day with you on how "****ty" your beer was.

I started off with a $20 Clearance Turkey Fryer kit from Dick's. That was great, I was able to do almost full boils for extract, and was able to do it outside. Then the AG bug hit. I don't have the means for the uber sculpture that I want now, so instead I contracted my buddy to help build the uber burner stand.

So here it is a lot higher than it was, not painted, and thinking the tank would look cool underneath it:

Painted now, and structurally sound with obligatory puppy pose:

Then after loads of beers, the MIG welder got fired up and we decided to make a nice side cart so to speak for the CFC:

Needs some more paint and some finishing touches like hooks for my stirring spoon etc, and I'm thinking maybe another small side cart to put **** on would be nice, who knows at this point.

And yes, the CFC is lopsided....made that druck, need to make it look straight

I know that is probably pretty study, but that just scares the sh1t outta me.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing...plus it looks like it would be an effective nut roasting machine as well.

This is my new brew stand. I haven't used it yet but will this weekend. I built it for around $100 and coated it with lacquer to make cleanup easier in case of a spill or boil over.

What was the design philosophy behind making it so tall?

once the keggle is full, I don't have to lift/move anything except for a full carboy. I wanted to be able to go straight from keggle, to CFC to carboy all gravity.

I do this and my kettle is only half as high as yours.
