Hi There,
Has anybody made a suitable stand for their counter flow chiller, I know that it is designed to sit on the top of the glass lid but I like to have the lid removed when transferring the wort into the fermenting vessel.

I stand it on an old kitchen bin.

I stand mind on the malt pipe. By the time I get round to the end of the boil I've already washed up the various bits and pieces used at the start of the process.

I use a shelf support attached to the wall then slide the cooler onto it.

Re: Grainfather Counterflow Chiller Stand
Hi,
Although there would be many relatively easy ways of standing the chiller next to the Grainfather, other than adding hops as a late hop stand, after dropping the wort below 80°, which is tricky with the chiller on top of the lid, I haven’t really found it necessary.
It would be interesting to know why you found it better to stand the chiller in an alternative position?

Re: Grainfather Counterflow Chiller Stand
I use one of these, it's just the right height and enough room for hops etc alongside.
I flush with boiling wort to sanitise so putting it on top is a pain.
