Wall mounted grain hanging option?

[matt_m]

When you pull out the knob to allow the arm to swing side to side, the arm slips down inside the wall mount about another 1/2”. I used it for my first brew day and it’s not an issue since I have no plans to swing it side to side with the bag on it. It was nice to have something more substantial and and this looks nice too.

This is what I've done.View attachment 738037I have screwed it to the ceiling just to stop it twisting sideways.

Do you leave it hanging the entire time during the brew and pull it down afterwards?

No, Only when I need to lift the malt pipe up when its full of wet grain.
Once its drained after sparging I lift it clear as shown, then slide the all in one to the left so its under the extractor fan ready for the boil & fully lower the malt pipe to the sink which is just to the right hand side.

I'm planning to weld up a spreader bar in a few weeks with a stick welder (but the priority is the kettle stand). Will rig something up to better lift kegs and fermenters into my chest freezers. Shouldn't be too expensive at the orange big box store. Will let you know when I come up with a bill of materials.
