Setup

Post by crookedeyeboy » Thu Nov 19, 2009 3:48 pm

Think one of these might be any good for setting all my equipment out on one unit?

I was thinking something like this...

HLT

MashTun

Boiler

Fermenter

In a kind of zig zag line. Thought it might be nice to have it all on one unit....

These things tend to be quite lightweight. Its best find where you are going to put all your gear and fastening something like this to the wall, better still design something around your equipment, get the wood and do it yourself, many hours of fun designing, if you like that sort of fun!

I agree with Micmacmoc those plastic B&Q units are not very stable when you have an hlt and mashtun and a boiler full of wort on them, I was thinking along the same lines but decided to build one from wood viewtopic.php?f=6&t=25579&st=0&sk=t&sd=a Have a look at my post for my wooden brewery stand it took me a couple of weekends to knock it up but its built exactly to size for all my AG brewing kit and it does the job perfectly, even managed to intergrate my brewing fridge into the stand also :wink:

I would stay away from plastic shelving.....especially when it doesn't tell you the weight capacity per shelf :cry:
