Cleaning out my fridge and freezer to buy new ingredients. Summer is coming up so i thought i would try a potluck pale ale of sorts.
American Pale Ale
All Grain (11 gallons)
ABV:5.8%
OG 1.057
FG:1.013
IBUs:37.1
IBUs:6.5 SRM
21lb pale malt (2 row)
3lb carmel/crystal malt -20L
.5 oz Tomahawk...
I didnt see any weight specs either so i emailed the manuf. and he said it would hold 150 pounds and the burners are 14 inches center to center holding up to a 30 quart pot.
Any one have any advice on if this would make a good brewstand for 10 gallon batches? Think it will hold 3 keggles?

i just did my first 10 gallon batch yesterday with 26 pounds of grain and it took 2 hours to drain my mash tun due to my cheap braided line i will def look into the spring idea if i can find one to fit inside my braid or just try a water heater hose or use copper for a manifold.
I believe this is what I used to make mine this and a couple of hose clamps and water hose connectors.

I want to get into growing hops also, I live outside of Austin and this heat is brutal I know they like lots of sun but I may try and plant them with a little shade since this heat is so crazy.
Any advice for me?
Good luck.
