Morgue Table to Brew Stand?

[wimartin]

Found a morgue table for cheap from our hospital and was wondering if it had any potential for being a brew stand.

You could mount three Blichmann burner stands w/o legs.
How thick is the table? Also, can you add HD casters?
I spent four years w/ the ME's office and those tables are my necessity HEAVY.

Other than than being a bit creepy I would think it would work. I believe those things are rated for something like 500 lbs. You'd have to bolt it to the floor though.

I love it maybe Dead End Brewing

For the burners how would you mount them? Take a high speed cut off to it? Or put burners on stands?

Awesome! Being a big fan of gore/grind musick and old school horror movies, I would probably not build a brew stand, I'd re-purpose it as a bed for the guest room
Imagine waking up dead after a total bender.

Toe Tag Torrified Wheat Ale! Or is it Terrified?

Whole Body Brewing.. the beer with real body

As a brewstand, meh. I'd make it into a bar top or something similar that way folks actually get to see it.

Now - if you're going shopping in the basement, that hyperthermia unit right behind it next to the freezer would make a KICKASS chiller for a series of fermenters...

i think it would be great to use but brewing with it might make you a little "stiff"

Last Stop Brewing! I have been fortunate enough not to have seen one of these in person, but I can't see why it would not work. Provided it isn't too tall, won't tip with an uneven weight load, and is large enough for your system. Looks like a great find though.

It would work, but having been in many morgues, and seen what happens on these tablesI would never use a table that came out of one for food or drink production. I realize the stainless can be cleaned. Still.

So, What did you end up doing with it? Pictures please!

Just for fun I'd use that as a table. If someone brings a guest you've never met before you could break the ice with something like "Dead people got dissected here, how do you like mye beer?"

I'm with you. Thats a hell of a conversation peice, and it might work for brewing, but there isnt any level of cleaning or sanitizing that would tell my brain that there wasnt once a dead body on that.
