Brewstands

[cieje]

I see a lot of brew stands on this for people doing full or partial mash brewing... Does anybody have diy or pics of brewstands for extract brewing?

You don't really need a stand for extract brewing. It would be a waste of money since you'll probably upgrade to all-grain sometime in the future.

Lowes and Home Depot sell turkey fryers that have a nice burner with them. They bring it up to a great height to work at.

After looking at that,you might be a redneck...lolz. I do stuff like that,quick-n-simple. I re-arranged my comp set-up a bit. I got rid of the extra printer above the tower cabinet (big comp center type thing),so I could use the big printer desk for my brew stand. It has a couple of shelves for my brewing odds-n-ends too.
Now,I can use the slightly lower round end table next to that as a bottling stand. Finally got all my ducks in a row. I may post a pic of it in the diy section for us extractors (new word!?) when I finish setting it up. Hell,if y'all like it,you could search rummage sales for this sort of thing. No saws or nails/screws involved!

Here's an extract brew rig - complete with pump.

For some reason, his website is now messed up and he doesn't have pics/info on there at the moment. www.backhousebrew.com

I thought that name sounded familiar. He's the guy that sends beers to Gary Wilson's Home Brewer TV. Looks like he makes some good beers too. Since I do all the brew kettle stuff in the kitchen,my set up is good for the rest of the entire process.
And since it's too my right as we speak,I can keep a loose eye/ear on it. I even condition my beer in this room (in brown bottles inside boxes with lids). It's cooler in this room,but more stable at the same time.

That's what my neighbors thought I was doing when I rolled out my HERMS rig for the first time. We have a lot of police traffic on my street (right near a station), and I've even had them stop and ask what I was doing.

See, I'm a newer brewer and I'm not sure if/when I'll get into all grain. I don't really have the time or the space to do all grain from what I read about it. I don't have a garage or a dedicated brewspace so having a nice gravity fed stand design or something like that is attractive to me to simplify my brewing/cleanup process.

and yes, I have a turkey fryer...
