I do have dreams of a multi-tier stand for the near future but other projects take priority. What I do have is a converted keggle with hopstopper and CFC, a multijet NG burner and the burning desire to brew this weekend.
What I haven't quite figured out is how to hold the keggle up at an appropriate height for CFC to fermenter gravity draining. I may get the wort wizard thing (petshop aquarium drainer) but I'm also using the keg to bring mash/sparge water to temp so gravity drain into the MLT would be nice. That and the fact that all my fermenters are better bottles so wort wizard no workie.
I have some scrap angle and tubular stock laying around, but not enough to make a stand just yet. I was thinking of bridging two lengths of tubular steel between two tables or something and putting the keg on top. Maybe mount the burner to a piece of metal hanging underneath. I don't want to spend too much time, but I don't want the batch tipping off either. I want to hear your ideas.
For those with multijet burners, does the black cast part get really hot over the course of a brew session? Could I mount this to wood under the keg?
