I found out about google sketchup from this site and decided to design a brew rig for a friend.
I wanted to make it very portable and easy to setup so he could bring it to brewfests.
It will have 2 large wheels that contact the ground when tilted so it can be moved like a dolly.
All the propane will be hard piped with the tank mounted below the tallest tier.
I'd like to use only gravity and an immersion chiller for the wort, we will see how that goes.
Here are the plans....
The basic frame is built already from .095 wall 1.5" square tube. Seems very sturdy and capable of holding the keggles fully loaded with water. I haven't been over to take pics yet.
Its tall and we will do lots of safety testing before we starting heating stuff up with it.
I originally designed a step ladder to pin/bolt to the frame to make it more rigid
But he decided it was sturdy enough without it, and would use a separate ladder instead.
