So I have been using my pump and plate chiller just on the floor for about 5 brews then eventually just went back to using the Immersion Chiller because it was too cumbersome having all my hoses and pump just hanging out. So I got some inspiration from a fellow member on his build

I built exactly the same thing, his actually has an integrated Inline O2 stone as well as an inline temp probe. I just use a Blichmann thrumometer

I thought I would share my build.
Stand is all 3/4 inch PVC and some random scraps of wood I had laying around and the wood is attached by PVC clamps.
Total cost for the stand was $10.59 from Home Depot. Obviously not including the plate chiller.
Plate chiller + add a pump kit cost $210.00
I got a hold of a SS inline chugger pump for $100.00
Total cost of $320.59
Not bad considering a brand new Sabco Chill wizard is $950.00!
