I've been following other brewstand threads on this site, and was envious of the welded stainless stands, something I can't do, as I never learned to weld.
Imaging how happy I was when I stumbled upon the Weldless Brewstand Thread here. Now this is something I'm willing to attempt!!
I've been learning how to solder stainless steel, and was also making an Bottom Drain Insulated Mash Tun, so I jumped in and made a weldless brewstand.
Since everyone seems to name their stands ("Brutus", "Wallace", "Popeye"), I decided to name mine after Homer Simpson's best friend and drinking Buddy.
Without further ado, I give you---"Barney":
Barney is 72" long x 22" wide x 31" tall. These dimensions allowed me to accommodate my two Blichmann Burners on the 24" legs. The burners have been re-jetted for natural gas.
I have a Brewer's Hardware RIMS Tube, an Auber Instruments 2352 PID setup, and four SSR -switched outlets that are controlled by the low-voltage switches mounted up front.
I haven't mounted the pumps yet, as I'm waiting for my Chugger Pumps Stainless Steel Heads.
It's still a work in progress, but I just had to show it off.
