So I'm working with three 15.5 G Sanke's. I want to go electric on the HLT and then wrap the HLT & MT with reflectix, and then maybe Rhino line them like WortMonger did. I don't want to deal with a pump and want to keep this as simple as I can so I need to have gravity on my side. I would still be using an old turkey fryer burner to fire up my kettle so that wouldn't have to be mounted like the others were, eliminating the risk of fire next to the wood.
Could I not make a 3-tier gravity brew tree out of a 4x4 or some layered 2x4's and then anchor the keg's to the stand using bolts?
According to this the weight of a full keg is 165 lbs, (of course that depends on what it's filled with.)
What are your thoughts on the strength and stability of this set-up?
FYI: I originally posted this under the "Show us your wooden sculpture" thread but I figured it would get more exposure with it's own thread.
