    Which is better in a brew kettle or pot?

    i use all brass on the bottom and brass and copper on the returns up top for recirc and chiller boil and i'm still here to post. the worst thing you could do is not boil aluminum enough before brewing with it.

    how many kegs do you guy average on a 5# tank?

    What kind of welder and steel do I need for a brew stand?

    a reminder... if you use a mig machine that does solid wire and fluxcore you have to change the polarity inside the machine. basically making the torch + and the ground - or vise versa, the rig would be marked however

    What kind of welder and steel do I need for a brew stand?

    you only need 16g to 1/8 on the heavy side for the tube thickness, any cheap mig will do but an investment in a lincon, or hobart/miller would be worth it if you planned on using it for other things and the consumables like tips and torches would be easier to find. i have a hobart 120v mig...
