Hi Everybody,
Been brewing a while and decided I want to build a stand. I am modeling my design off of the compact 3 tier system seen at halfbarrellbrewer (http://halfbarrelbrewer.com/). I would appreciate any advice or considerations before I begin my construction.
About the stand:
Approximately 41" high, 36" long, and 18" wide. I plan on using Blichmann 15 gal pots eventually, and the stand will be used for 5 gal and 10 gal brews. The stand will also accommodate keggles as well. The stand will be made out of 1" x 1" 11 gauge square tubular steel. Gas and beer plumbing will be outside the frame.
I plan on updating this thread as I make progress on design and fabrication, to include costs as well as any issues encountered. Just recently purchased a welder and chop saw and expect to begin building within the next week or two, depending on what time allows.
The second picture shows my latest and final model. I raised the second tier a little bit and cleaned up the design.
If you have any insights as I move along please feel free to let me know!
Cheers,
