I'm tired of the whole brewing process taking 4-5 hours on my stovetop, so I purchased a Bayou Classic after brewing my first batch. It was in the middle of a week-long rain spell when I brewed my next batch, so I just brewed stovetop again. Then for my third batch, I realized I had no way to transfer the wort to my 6-gal carboy. I do have a spigot on my 8-gal boiling pot for easy transfer, but it's not a pump -- just gravity.
The Bayou Classic is only maybe 2 feet tall with pot included, and I need it to be more like 5. We have a few desks in the garage, but they are $20 each and not very sturdy -- no way would I trust them to hold this thing (even if I just boiled it on the ground and then used oven mitts to transfer that heavy m-fer to the desk, I'm still not confident it would hold).
I would just get a brew structure, but I'm moving in a few months and am trying to minimize on my purchasing of large things. Is there any easy, safe, temporary way I can raise this guy up and cook at near-stovetop height?
