Well I'm finally going to put together a wooden brewstand and wanted to get some feedback before I started buying wood. I have two basic designs, one of them mocked up and the other one I will have to describe.
I have an electric HLT, a square cooler mashtun and a keggle that sits on a blichman burner. I have a chugger pump as well so the whole thing doesn't have to be gravity fed.
The first design you can see a rough sketchup of the idea. HLT up on top. The green thing in the middle is my counterflow chiller.
The second idea is basically the same thing but more in the shape of an L with the HLT again in the middle. The thought process behind that is it would be more square instead of long and narrow.
One other question...how far below the MT/BK should the inlet of the pump be? Currently it is oriented vertical with the inlet facing down?
Thanks for the input
