My First BIAB Stand Build

[chiefairwrench]

After some time now I have been BIAB on my Blickmann Triple Tier and a electric wench and on the road on Brew club brew days we been using a Bayou Classic burner.. I have been auto-cad several different stands not really happy with any I think I have develop one that meets our needs. I thought I pay back by posting my build on this forum. So thanks for all the help and looking for more inputs as i build.

How big is that pot?

 

[chiefairwrench]

Our biggest pot is a 15 gal brewers edge sold by Williams brewing I think its 16 1/2 " diameter The blichmann burner will hold bigger pots. Here is a picture of our pot on out triple tier.

I'm such an idiot. I've never seen a burner like that. I was thinking is that a big chunk cut out. Maybe it's just huge and I have nothing for scale.

Here is a better pic of the burner

What I want to know is,does that electric wench bring you a beer when not lifting the bag?

 

[chiefairwrench]

Lol boy do I wish

 

[chiefairwrench]

Thinking of redoing my buddy BIAB stand and post it. It is not as complicated if there is intrest.

I'm glad to see the diamond plate replaced the wood!

 

[rekoob]

Looks good, congrats on the new stand.

 

[chiefairwrench]

My buddy took one of my CAD designs and built it before I built mine. After some time it was a little wiggly when the weight was being lifted . After looking at it just need some tightening up And since he help me so much on mine I thought I redo the bottom stiffen it up and throw a little bling and pride in the build. did alot the last couple of days so enjoy it will be completely finished next week

 

[chiefairwrench]

A good friend who has helped me brew in my earlier days ask for a BIAB stand I could not say no. He is a great guy. Here is what he wanted and suggestions would be great

 

[daddarioc]

Well this certainly makes me feel even worse about my pulley on the garage door rails and folding table I use!

Looks great!

 

[chiefairwrench]

These are awesome! We'll done!

 

[Michigan_Wolfman]

Nice looking brew stand! I've been reading up on BIAB and it looks like a pretty good way to do all grain without having to spend a small fortune on equipment. If I do decide to venture into BIAB, I'm definitely going to try and build something similar to this.

 

[chiefairwrench]

Happy and sad day here. The green BIAB stand left with its new owner. A great guy and great stand both worked great on its first brew

[chiefairwrench]

Well due to the response on Facebook and other interested persons I decided to publish the plans and develop a kit.I purchased and working on the website so let's hold on tight

 

[chiefairwrench]

I see we are at a 5700 views and only 38 comments this makes me nervous homebrewers like to talk. I need to make a couple of more prototypes after I make the much needed grain mill I am currently building. Please tell me what you like to see in this stand; mods, colors, materials etc. This stand prototype is not going to be welded I have heard that several times. The second one is going to be in kit form a gentleman contacted me and wanted one with his own inputs which I am excited about. The plans/booklets are going great still at it and I am going to insure the people I promised plans/booklets will get them what they want ASAP once the booklets are done.
