What do you guys think about hanging the pulley from the bar on the garage door? I mran it will be like 50 lb max.
I have a hurricane garage door with metal beams that are about 6" long x 4" wide. They conveniently have ~ 1.5" diameter cut outs placed along each beam. I screwed in an eyebolt into the one I wanted to use and attached a pulley. I have a marine cleat fastened to a work shelf to tie off my rope and, well, you get the idea. The height of the garage door beam and pulley system can lift my bag out of the wort by about 8" which is absolutely enough to drain and squeeze. I've not exceeded 12# of wet grain (yet) but so far that amount is no problem.
