I have a buddy willing to weld me up a brew stand. I need to provide him measurements. I would like a brew tree design like Lil sparkys.

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/3-tier-tree-sculpture-plans-27324/

Would this design work (with Lil Sparkys measurements)??

Top Shelf--- HLT (aprox 5 gal pot)
Middle Shelf-- a 48qrt rectangle cooler MLT
Bottom----- 15gal pot as the BK

ALL gravity fed as I dont want to mess with pumps.


I will be doing 5 gal batches.

:mug:
 
The overall height is going to depend on the size of your pots. Take the vessels and burners to your welder. One thing I would do is offset the hlt and bk so they are not directly over each other, having the bk closer to you.
 
I would do the height of each to accommodate whatever type of pots you see yourself using in the future. Otherwise you will be kicking yourself later.
 
This is probably not a problem but when I look at these builds I always wonder what keeps any debris out of the kettle?
 
What are you using for your burner? If you are using a turkey fryer you can change your design to a 2 stand for your mlt and hlt while placing the turkey fryer on the ground. This saves a few bucks in the design that you can use for other gadgets like a stir plate.
 
I was going to use burners without getting the stand. As far as tubing? not sure what you mean.....

I'm just curious since I'm looking at a build as well and it seems like some people are going with 2" which seems like overkill to me but then again I don't know metal working.
