Asked this another BIAB forum but thought I'd see what you guys have to say about this.
I live in an apartment in Southern California and brew outside. Lots of great days for brewing here. I'm looking for some type of portable stand/hoist/whatever that I can attach to a pulley system for lifting double batches of high gravity beer.
My Equipment:
Blichmann Burner with Leg Extensions
(just a pic I grabbed from the internet, not my rig)
80 Quart / 75 Liter Kettle
I like high gravity brews so lifting 30+ lbs of wet grain off of an already high base could be problematic. Any ideas?
So far I have come across:
Alton Brown's Turkey Derrick/Ladder Idea
Harbor Freight Shop Crane - EXPENSIVE (and I have no room for this)!!!
The ladder is cheaper but ugly and seems like it would get in the way. The shop crane is almost $200 USD and seems like overkill.
Any ideas? I'm not particularly handy and don't have a way to fabricate anything with metal.
