I should have taken before pics, the aquarium stand wasn't really worth anything but taking to the scrap yard and I used an old bent up box spring frame that we found. I'm still considering to mount my plate chiller on it, I like how fast it chills but they can be a bugger to clean if you don't do it as soon as you're done with them, and I have done that a time or two.

If recirulating from the PC back into the boil kettle helps remove cold break material from making it to the fermenter, that would make it worth it I guess. The entire length of the stand is long enough that I made the center where the mashtun sits able to hold either a keggle or the cooler in case I decide to try stepping the mash temps, there are three burners. I still need to plumb it etc. Like I said it isn't pretty, I didn't set out to make a beautiful piece of artwork... just functioning will do for me... and I'm a firm believer that form follows function.
