Brew Accessory Stand

:smack:

Ok, I am building an all electric brewery and will be posting the build once I am done. However I am at a point where I could use some input. At this time I do not have room to park a brew sculpture. However I do have a nice outside work table, on a slab, with easy access to electricity for the rig. My plan is to brew outside and store the vessels on a shelf in my garage when not brewing. i can keep the control panel in my bar when not needed.

Here is the problem. I need to mount a RIMs tube, pump, and plate chiller on some type of portable stand. I can either set or hang it in the garage when not in use. I am thinking along the lines of a "Tower". Either free stand or have an attachment to my table. I would like to have the pump at the lowest part for priming purposes.

For some reason I am at a mental block on designing this thing. Wood is best as I do not have easy access to a welding machine, especially for aluminum or stainless. Some fabrication is possible. I have considered using a hand truck from Harbor Freight, but it is a little on the large size. Maybe intrigrating it with a control panel stand, aka big "Tower" on wheels. Can anybody shoot me some pictures or diagrams to get the ideas flowing?

Surprised no one wanted to help out with this one. First thing that came to my mind was something similar to a horse jump standard (see image below). To save money instead of a 4x4 for the vertical center you could cut a 8' 2x4 in half and double it up. Then you just need a 2x6 for the feet. Easy to screw on a pump, chiller and rims tube. What ya think?

This is a metal stand but I'm sure something like this could be duplicated with wood or some unistrut. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1452271928.155368.jpg

Thanks for the replies. I think for now I am going to make a temporary wood stand. I will use it to proof the design for an aluminum one later. This weekend has been tight but the upcoming week looks nice. I still have to solder a few fittings in the bk and mt, maybe after that...

this is an old set up of mine but the simple front is maybe what your looking for, the pot goes to the pump which is mounted on the bottom shelf then up to the rims and up to the pot, the rims is tilted for drainage, the whole cart is on wheels
