It's a sickness!
I am building a 3 tier brewstand out of 1 1/2 " angle and my plans call for a 84" height for the HLT. My breakdown is as follows. Up 28" to the bottom of the boil kettle, this gives me about 12" from boil spigot to carboy. Then up another 28" to my Mashton, roughly 8" from my mashton spigot to the top of my boil kettle. Then up another 28" to my HLT, again roughly 8" from my HLT spigot to the top of my mashton. Wow that was a lot of explaining. Sorry. Figuring a rough estimate that Kegs are 24" tall from chime to chime. I thought this design would help with gravity flow, but now that I have cut my steel I am wondering if this is to much hieght for this application. So to my ?. What is an average height for 3 tier systems? What's yours? I was thinking of building a set of steps along side this stand complete with casters. Any thoughts appreciated. I start welding soon.
