After a few extract brews under my belt, I decide to jump head first into the all grain. I've liked the single tier so I decided to go with that. After a few months of looking and researching I found a set of plans to go with. There is a local iron place near by that makes gates, doors and other decrotive stuff my girlfriend loves to buy for the house, so I got to build the stand for $150. They used 1.5x1.5 square tube. They dragged their feet getting it started but I can't complain for the price and the quality of work.
(Sorry for the crappy phone pics)
Here are the BG-14's mounted in:
Burners kicked on and no leaks! these suckers get hot.
Mounted the Duba Diesel Plate chiller on the bottom using some off-the-shelf L brackets from Home Cheapo. Didn't need any modifications on the brackets, they fit perfectly.
So after seeing all the other sweet rigs here, I thought a coat of paint was inline. Decided to go with engine enamel paint. I'm a GM fan so when I saw the Hugger Orange can it was perfect. Paint says its good for 500 degrees, and only cost a few dollars. I did get some quotes for powder coating but it cost more than the stand itself to have it powdered.
More photos to come!
