stainless steel table.

Anyone use a stainless table like this as a brew stand? It will hopefully be home to my mash tun and hlt with burner as as pictured. Both Kettles are 16 gallon bayou classic , and the boil kettel is a 20 gallon boiler maker, which will sit on the ground. The box says both shelf will hold 500 lbs, so I think I'm good. Just wanted to see how anyone else mounted their pump or chiller.

 

Here's the pics.

 

Where did you get it? How much?

 

I really wish someone would tell me why every pic I post is sideways ?????

 

Sams club...$118

 

Here's how I mounted my pumps. The top pump is for HLT recirc. The HLT sits on the top shelf. The bottom pump is for mash recirc. The MT sits on the bottom shelf. I have not mounted my chiller yet.

Holy crap man! Nice build! I'm going to read through that.

 

Yep. I bought mine from Home Depot. Looks to be similar, but with a solid bottom shelf.

Let's see if my picture will work....

^^^Very nice. What size are your boilermaker? And you have all three vessels on the table, so I know I'll be good. Anything is better then milk crates, that's what I was using.

 

I see everyone running two pumps. Might have to cough up the money for one more pump. Was hoping to make this work with one pump.

 

not sure but i can help you out

nice table

Thanks bro.

 

You can also put a stir motor in the HLT, instead. I thought about that but decided to go with a second pump because it's easier to add (less fabrication) and having a backup pump is a good thing. If one of my pumps craps out, I'll just stir the HLT by hand and keep the wort recircing with the other pump. If I decided to use a stir motor in the HLT and the wort recirc pump crapped out, I would be screwed.

 

Those are 20 gal pots. I brew 10 gallon batches without a problem.

Here is one of mine:




and the start of another:

 

I picked up one from Webstaurantstore.com, pretty reasonable price shipped, with the lip on the back to keep liquid and other stuff from rolling off of it. Mine easily has handled 20+ gallon of liquid weight, plus 20lbs of grain weight, plus equipment.
