3-tier brew stand plans

[ManseMasher]

Tried searching on here but no luck. I want to build my own 3-tier gravity stand - anyone done this or got plans? Was thinking of using slotted angle iron?

That's some set up! I've got two kegs, one for HLT, one for boiler, and a 32 litre coolbox as a mash tun. Was thinking of either angle iron, or some scaffold pipe and connectors to make a central spine with stands/shelves?

We have a single tier 3 keg system with 2 pumps inline. This was built out of an old bunk bed from Ikea

Here is it bring cut up and using any price of scrap metal we can find including bed rails (bottom horizontal bars and middle tippy system)

As long as the metal is solid go got it

That looks cracking, but I'm trying to steer clear of pumps (on a tight budget). Looks like I'm off to scrapyard on Friday! Happy New Year by the way.

I went 2 tier and worked out well but pumps can be a bigger hassle especially when it clogs from hops. Good luck!
