legs for bottom drained keg?

Looked but did not find anything.

Has any put feet/legs on keggle that is bottom drained. I have seen lots of pictures of brewstands that support the keg. I am looking for anyone that just put legs or feet on the bottom of their keggle so it was free standing. Thanks.

I use an upside down kegs for MLT, and "added" a bottom drain for fermentation. The rim is intact on the MLT so i just have 1" angle supporting it on my single tier. On the fermentor i cut the bottom and rim off to make room for the cone (it's now a conical), and i use the rim remnants with wheels to move it around.

I don't know how high up off the floor you'd want it to be but I can think of two ways. One is to make a hoop that just barely fits behind the rolled edge of the keg. It would be slotted a bit in one spot to allow for the horizontal tube off the drain.

The other, for more height, is to use some metal angle or square stock extended from the the bottom skirt past the top skirt and to the floor with a bolt and nut through both skirts. In other words, bolt 3 or 4 legs to the kegs at the skirts.

Boom, I knew I saw it before;

YES! Thank you, had not thought of using both rings. I was stuck on only using the bottom.
