BIAB brew stand with hoist and pump

[ScubaSteve]

Simple, but beautiful. I envisioned something like this a few years ago, but my project took twists and turns in other directions. Crazy to see how popular BIAB has gotten.

Thanks scuba Steve.


Biab just makes a lot of sense for many people, less equipment, less expensive, less space, and the full brewing experience.

I shouldn't have read this thread...

..guess I better learn to weld..

Learning to weld would make you a real metal head! :rockin:

Any updates on these stands? Starting to lay out the parts I need for mine. I am looking at using the 102 Qt. for pot so that I can do minimum of 12G batches.

I'm thinking about selling my stand that started this post. It's still just like new. One batch is all I've brewed. Hence the reason for selling. If anyone is interested they can email me. I haven't had much time for brewing lately or reading on the forum. Text is ok too at 937-six zero four-0272

My stand is doing great, my efficiency is usually right around 77%, brew day is a breeze, i also have used it as a camping stove, and as a turkey fryer, i love this thing.

Good luck with your sale, thanks for coming up with the idea for this!

Does the lift arm swivel so you can swing the grain over to empty it? If so how did you make that & what are you using to lift it.....cable....strap?

The hoist on mine does swing, I took a piece of round pipe, and welded it into a piece of square tubing, to create a dowl pin effect. And added a plate on each end, so the 2 surfaces would glide nicely together. As for the hoist, I use a cheap cable hand winch from harbor freight.

Those swiveling arms are cool, but I did not want to take up welding as a hobby. So, I cheated and bought an electric hoist at Harbor Freight and used a coupon (25% off if I remember correctly). I have a 10gal MT with part of the bottom cut out and then a perforated false bottom over the cutout. The hoist lifts it and I can go spargeless or control my sparge by slowly raising the MT

Very nice
