I'm planning to build a gravity fed 3 tier brew stand and I have a few questions that I'm hoping you folks can help with.
I was planning to reuse my BG10 burner/stand to heat up the lowest level of the stand, but I was convinced (in another thread) not to bother and to just go with two BG14 burners for the HLT and boil Kettle burners. Can both burners share one 30 PSI regulator? Its not likely that they'd both be lite at the same time, but its possible I guess.
Should I use the 12" diameter wind/heat shields that I see on many of the factory made burners? If so does anyone know where I can find them? I have now easy way of making them myself.
To help with the space, I was planning to build a simple 4 post frame out of angle iron for the HLT sit on (18" x18" about 55" high). I was thinking of adding one two fold out shelves. I'd use one for the mash tun to sit on and the other as work surface for misc "stuff". Then I'd either have the boil kettle sit on burner build into the bottom of stand or I'd use a free standing one along side. My concern is that it may be tippy. I see that many of the brew stands have very wide bottoms, which I'm sure is for stability. Has anyone seen a brew stand with fold out shelves? My thinking is the shelves might help steady the whole thing. Thoughts?
Thanks
