Title: Possible hoist for BIAB systems.
Post by: Eoin on March 13, 2014, 11:13:24 AM
This may be of use to someone on BIAB whose wet weight is less than 20KG.

Attach it to a beam in your shed and away you go.

It's a bicycle hoist but the first thing I thought of was BIAB.

Max weight per pulley is 10Kgs so that rules out lifting a baby bullock  :D

How do I know when they are bringing back the deal on brass garden hose connectors. Had them last year and they were cheap. :)

There's a stronger "rope ratchet" available in Aldi on 20th March. It will lift 250lbs (113kg).

I think 20KG is good enough for most people I amn't included in that, but I think I'll be going to Aldi for that yoke, thanks.

This would be great for getting the head off the pillow the morning after the night before

Heavy duty cymbal stand does the job for me, very versatile and could take a lot of weight with no need for drilling ceilings or any of that. Also not confined to hoisting in the one spot. helpful that I have them already, I don't think I'd recommend going out and buying them but sometimes adverts have them cheap. The known brand ones would do fine, pearl, dw, tama, etc. Just ensure they have double braced legs.
