I'm moving to a 1 bbl BIAB system. A lot of the reason is due to a failing back. It may not make sense to you but to me larger batches means less times I have to brew. Which is less work. Plus I'd like to use mechanical advantage as much as possible.
So I plan on building an overhead bridge crane with an electric winch to do all the heavy lifting. Including moving kegs in and out of the kegerator. Im moving from cornys to sankeys as well so I am certainly not lifting those?
To do this I need a bridge crane that slides forward and back and side to side. This way I can lift and move things anywhere in my brewing/bar area.
I kinda have an idea of how to do it. I see big industrial ones at the factory where I work. The hard part I think will be finding and sourcing the parts.
Wondering if anyone else has done it? Might have some insight?
