I've since bought one of these and it protects the floor of the shed from spills , I stand the cable drum on its castors in it. After my brewday I vacuum it out with a wet dry vac I picked in in the Lidl centre aisle

Mine sits on a folding aluminium working platform thingy that I also use for decorating lol…. I brew in the garden so it all needs to be moveable!!

I put mine on an old B&D Workmate. Works very well nice & stable.

I use a cheap Screwfix workmate clone, the plastic thingies that plug into the wooden top are usefull for ensuring the urn doesn't move.

Not stylish! Oh dear that could never do . let's be honest here, my perfect support for this would be matt black powder coated perforated steel plate, with a chrome frame and lockable wheels - industrial chic, robust, reliable, cleanable and I can choose where to move it to and it stays solid where I put it! Me a control freak - never .

So not a beer crate then.

So my desire for a sleek stylish brew stand has been tempered by the amount of bend visible in the glass during my last brew day. That wasn’t even with a full kettle either. So I’ve replaced the glass top with a bit of coated chip board. It’s nowhere near as smart (particularly after I accidentally drilled one of the screw holes all the way through ) , but it is a bit more practical. Hey compromising for practicality reasons is kind of ok.

Oooh that is properly tempting!. I do though describe myself in my professional role as a ‘militant pragmatist’. So while I would dearly love the stylish handsome and crisp edges of chrome, glass and steel, I think I’ll go with the heat resistant coated chipboard. Prizing low risk over style - hah, no possibility of metaphor here is there .

Kitchen worktop. And one of those steps used for aerobics to reach it for mashing in and out.

I'm not that familiar with aerobics but can see the danger, the aerobics instructor shouting " reach for it, mash in mash out " whilst standing on the kitchen worktop.

I have a very sturdy giant mechano type work bench. It works well as its got storage and drawers - in my garage. Only down side is I have to rig up a heath robinson hosepipe affair for cooling the wort. After about 6 brews in I now have it mastered as long as I don't "drink and brew!"

... as I don't "drink and brew!"

This has been the downfall of many brews, both home and pro. I went on a brewery tour years ago. It was a local microbrewery staffed by 3 self proclamied pissheads. One of the brews, they had been drinking and forgotten to take the top off the mash tun before adding the strike-water and grist. The ended up with about 1.5 tons of porridge all over the floor.

Now there's an idea @DocAnna a nice piece of black heat resistant granite (or marble) worktop . Suits you!

Oh now that really is an interesting idea - we do have a specialist stone worktop centre in town, I wonder if they do off cuts

I stand my Braumeister (20L) on a "dolly". A piece of MDF with a castor in each corner. Helps me wheel the vessel to my kitchen back door when doing the boil.

Decorators jump step. Good enough height. Can also stand on it to lift the malt tube out.
