Depending on diptube design dead space can be as little as 1 cup.

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of force.
What sort of welding rod did you use to weld brass to stainless steel?
I didn't weld brass to Stainless Steel. If your talking about the Wok covers, the Stainless elbow on top is welded to a Stainless washer/flange to provide stability to the flexible thin Aluminum material and then inserted through the top of the cover. On the inside, the brass fitting is threaded onto the male pipe part of the Stainless elbow you see on the top of the Wok cover; with another SS washer/flange between the bottom of the cover and the brass fitting.
I was at Kmart today and picked up two stainless steel mixing bowls with a 13" diameter for $7 bucks a piece.
fyi - I'm stealing the wok lid idea and replacing it with SS lids.
It will probably be pretty negligable. I have set up the kegs to siphon as close to the bottom as possible. kinda like the picture.(not mine) As you can see there's a dished section in the bottom of the keg, makes it easier to siphon off of.
Is this your mash tun or boil kettle?
I kept clogging with that setup in my kettle. I run a short 90 in the kettle.

There you go!! Great idea. probably be quite a bit sturdier and will not need washers to support the fittings... I might steal your idea and go Stainless!!
Great idea! I'm currently converting kegs and have been looking around for lids. This is a great idea and there is a Kmart across the street from my clinic. Stopping tomorrow.

Hoping to reopen this thread! Any chance you could provide the dimensions of that brew stand? It's one of the cleanest Brutus builds I've seen yet. Also, after using it for a yr plus, any things you'd want to leave off or add?
HI Hit the TWit, the dimensions are standard to the design that Lonnie Mac used in his article in BYO magazine. I planned for installing electrical ect... later but decided I liked it the way I built it. I wouldn't change anything, maybe leave off the pilot light option on the two burners... I don't use them much....I did upgrade my march pumps to a different head design since I was having trouble with keeping prime.. the new heads solved that problem.. 30 gallons of Oktoberfest lagering right now and getting ready for Weiss bier..
