Amigos and brewing afficianados,
I am wondering if anyone has experience or comments on using round stock tubular steel instead of the square for a single tier frame? I live in an area rife with dairy industry and have a line on some scrap stainless tubing but it is round. I would think cutting the ends that butt up to another round tube would be far more complex than a straight cut. But other than that any reason you should or shouldn't substitute round?
It seems the primary concerns are of diameter and gauge so that the stand can remain stable and support the weight of your brewing ware, water and grain.
Any thoughts are welcome.
