Beers and Beards BIAB Rig

Sometimes you just need a girlfriend who will design, weld, and paint a brew stand, then surprise you with it as a Christmas present!  I know, you don't think she exists, but you're wrong. That's exactly what Megan did for her boyfriend Evan and she wrote up some details about the build which you can read below.  Oh, and by the way guys, when you come up with a logo for your Beers and Beards brewery, we gotta see it!!

"My name is Megan, a self-proclaimed beer connoisseur who lives in a tiny town in northeast Massachusetts. A few months before Christmas 2014, I started searching the internet in hopes to find the perfect gift for my boyfriend, who, at the time, was an amateur brewer. He really got into brewing after I bought him a home-brewing starter kit for his birthday in the spring of 2014.  I remembered him talking one day about wanting to invest in an outdoor BIAB rig that had a burner, a propane tank and a pulley system to pull up those heavy bags of soaked grain. At the time, I worked in a high school that had an amazing vocational/tech program (Carpentry, Automobile), and figured that, with the help of some people, I could build him the rig for Christmas. After a few days of searching, I came across the “BrewGeeks” homepage and messaged Tom to see if he could help me get started after seeing his own rendition of a BIAB rig that he had made. It was about a 3 ½ month-long process that took a lot of corresponding back and forth with Tom, but it was SO worth the time, money, and a few  bumps in the road to see my boyfriends face on Christmas. The end result turned out perfectly. I/We could not be more pleased with it."
