I had this idea because I wanted a cheap, small and simple brew stand. Let me know if this makes sense and/or has been tried before. This method works much better for batch sparging but could still be used for fly sparging but wouldn't make as much sense.
Pro:
-One Pot (2 for Fly Sparging)
-One Burner
-Small Footprint
-No Pump
-Easy to install in a garage w/exhaust fan over tower
So to do this you would have to build a tower that the HLT/Boil Kettle can slide up and down on. The low tech way would just to have the Pot and burner slide up and latch when it reaches the proper height. The high tech way would be to use some type of hydraulics to move the platform up and down. The height the platform must extend depends on the height of the Mash Tun (1.5 - 2 ft).
Please give me opinion if it seems feasible (especially the hydrualic part) or a waste of time
