Brew Stand Construction

A new house, a new brew stand! After weeks spent moving and settling into the new house, I finally had some time to work on my new brew stand. Based on the single-tier, weldless "Wallace" design, I spent probably about eight to twelve hours over the last week cutting and piecing it together.

Ain't she a beaut?!

The stand measures 56" long, 16" deep, and 24" high (30" high with the casters).

I picked up the majority of the materials at Menards. All parts included below:

• 5 pieces - Platted Slotted Offset Steel Angle 2-1/4" x 1-1/2" x 6 ft - 14 Gauge
• 4 pieces cut to 56" for stand length, remaining 4 16" pieces used for depth sides 
• 1 piece cut to 4 sections of 16" each (discard remainder)
• 2 pieces - Platted Slotted Steel Angle 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 6 ft - 14 Gauge
• Cut to 6 sections of 24" each for height
• 1 piece - Platted Slotted Steel Angle 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 4 ft - 14 Gauge
• Cut to 2 sections of 24 " each for height
• 4 pieces - 5" Tool Caster with Brake
• 350 lb load capacity
• Hex Bolts 5/16" x 3/4" (zinc platted)
• Hex Nuts 5/16" - 18 (zinc platted)
• Flat Washers 1/4" (zinc platted)
• 6 pieces - 3-1/2" x 3/4" Corner Braces
• For hanging burners

I cut all of the steel using a basic hacksaw and bolted everything together with a ratchet and wrench.

As for the burners, I picked up 2 Cast Iron Banjo Burners from Northern Brewer. I'm still working out how to connect both burners to a single propane tank. Ideally, I'll be able to run one line to two hoses.

I also connected a Steelhead Pump to the stand and hooked up a Shockbuster GFCI Outlet Adapter. Probably a good idea to stop lifting several pounds of boiling hot wort.

The size of the stand should allow plenty of room to expand to a third burner and larger brew kettles should the time come when the time comes. In the meantime, the ability to simultaneously direct fire my mash tun and sparge water is a giant leap forward for Kraemer Brew-kind.

Can't wait to fire this baby up!
