Comon...no wammies no wammies... stop at Free gear and a spin! :fro:

In!!!

Ok so I got a few hours to get back to the stand build. Real slow moving, need to find 28 or 29 hours in a day. 24 just ain't cutting it. So I was able to build a new ring out of 2 pieces of 6" 16ga sheet metal Welded together I got at HD as a test. Had some trouble bending so I took some hard...

All is ok. Don't you hate when life gets in the way! :( That being said, I should be back at it later this week and one day over the weekend. Thanks for keeping me on point!

@mmurray Thanks so much for the pics and the explanations! We will definitely use this input when designing the propane set up.

I noticed in your pic the shut off/adjust valve. One of the guys helping on the build just purchased a 0-30 PSI Regulator, well actually 2, once for each burner. If we do a black pipe set up to feed both burners would we just hook the reg directly to the pipe via adapter or do we only need...

Nice job, I can see myself using a variation of something like that! Thanks to both of you guys letting us know about the gas escape issue. mmurray, what gauge steel did you use for the rings, looks like 18 or 20? I tried already but only had 26 gauge which was great for fitting, but not...

@ rekoob Funny you say that, after holding the burner in place I was thinking the same thing. I basically removed all possibility of gasses escaping in the northern direction. would hate to have the keg any higher for stability reasons. How do you accomplish this with yours, you have a pic...

Great weekend! Was able to brew up a Belgian Tripel Sat Morning and attended a great tasting/homebrew party in the afternoon. FERMENTABLES 6.6 lb. Light LME 3 lb. Pilsen DME 1 lb. Light Candi Sugar 8 oz. Maltodextrin SPECIALTY GRAINS 4 oz. Aromatic HOPS 1.5 oz. Bittering UK Kent Goldings 1 oz...

Ok, gave it another night of work. Going to take a break and brew some this weekend. Unless I feel like sweating like crazy, my next update won't be until sometime next week/weekend. As for tonight added the spacers to get me to 11" along with a heat shield. Only have one heat shield and will...

Looks good! How did your first batch turn out?

Ok, so another good night of progress. I finished adding the angle pieces to support the two keggles and ground down the welds. Next step is to cut 4" strips out of the 16ga sheet metal in the pic and make some rings to mount our 10" burners. All in all making good headway and starting to see...

Gotcha and thanks, I have found the number of tools I have acquired the past few months is astounding. Just when you think you have everything, BAM there is something else you want/need (always really the want instead of the need). I picked up some 16ga sheet metal and will make some 10'' or...

@PorterBoy Your stand is looking AWESOME! :rockin: Yeah and I am only using a 4 1/2 in grinder. Was thinking of jumping up a bit to help speed up future grind sessions.. haha Your thought's? Also, where did you get your sight glasses? They look awfully close to the ones BobbyM is...

Who would have thought grinding could be so much fun! :rolleyes: Man is this time consuming and when your done doesn't feel like you accomplished much. After completing the top surface and side first pass course grinding I figured I would add one corner piece for one of the kettles. All that...
