Ultimate BIAB rig - Build Thread

[jammin]

I did have a bit of heat from the burner reach the propane tank. I will add a small heat shield (about 4x4") directly under the burner where it mounts to the burner support.

Great build.

Almost looks like you could simply go end for end on the plywood to move the propane tank away from the burner (just a thought as I can't really see if the cut is reversible).

Sweet!

I didn't see the dimensions of the finished stand - sorry if I missed those - can you direct me to the post or provide them here please? Do you find the height to be comfortable and the work surface to be wide enough?

Thanks!

I didn't make any build plans or anything. If I recall, its is 4' long, 20' wide, 20' deep, and 3' high. If I did it again I would take another 2" off the height (I'm 5'7", so you'll just have to find what works for you). Remember though, you still need enough height to properly fit the propane tank.

The work surface is just the right size.

Awesome. Its very similar to mine but I don't have a crane to hold up the grain bag. Instead I just use a heavy duty stainless oven rack. I lift the bag out, put the oven rack over the pot and set the back on that. Gently press the remaining wort out with the lid. I do not sparge. BIAB is an excellent way to do AG. I need to paint mine now, yours looks slick! Great work.

Everybody knows that a slick paint job and stickers = more horsepower (or better beer, in this case)!
