My official "Poor Mans Brew Stand" Build thread..
I can't afford the money or headache to even think about the shiny Brutus systems and tippy dumps and what not...
But I'm about to go AG, and I though I best put at least a 'little' effort into making it somewhat efficient and easy to use...
So the goals were to:
A) Get all this crap outta my house
B) Store it all in one place as neatly and compactly as possible
C) Don't spend much moola
D) Use gravity as much as possible to move liquids around
E) Simplify Cleaning and brewing on brew day..
So here is the space I am choosing to do this.. It's on the service porch where I store hardwoods for burning.. It's right next to the laundry/utility room, which is right off of the kitchen, so it's a good spot.. And it also has a hose bib for water, and a power outlet right in the corner I want to put it....
Yeah, I know.. I gotta sweep up all the firewood bark..
I can use this spot until the bugs come out in mid-to late spring, by which time I hope to have my back covered patio finished screening in, and can move the operation there... That's a better place anyways, because I have tunes there, and I BBQ there...not to mention it's right off of the party room/bar where the kegerator is..
Anyways, here's the temp location:
