That's what I thought Is going to happen, when I just read your initial post. Maybe you can replace the bolts with wedges on the outside? Bigger surface touching the bucket should do it! You might be able to reuse this bucket for it. You just need to cut some pieces of wood into the right shape. I'd connect the wedges with two screws probably. Looks like a biab rocket then. Fly me to the beer!

Used the same bucket, did some mods to bolster the strength. I put 20 lbs weight inside and the bucket barely deflected.

if you're the type that competes, now you can ***** slap the judges, and intimidate them!
i don't see any o-rings on those bolts though, food for thought......
That looks like serious bucket on a bucket, bucket.
@MaxStout how much do you think that bucket cost?
It's more the time than anything.
if it works you'll get a return on investment on that front...i can just imagine the grin, in fact it's your avatar!
I'll be grinning if my next indoor brew is less messy.
Gee. Another 120 reasons why I don’t brew in a BAG! Conventional stainless steel 16 gallon mash tun, heatable, true false bottom 1” hi. I can sparge or no-sparge, vorloft, drain super clear wort to boil kettle & when it’s 3-4” deep start the fire. When spent mash is thoroughly drained next day, it’s easy to scoop out for my friends’ chickens. Bag? Why?

Bag? Why?
I finally tried the "BIAB Rocket" thing. Worked like a champ.

man you don't brew enough....i've been looking forward to that post for so long, now i have to revist the whole thread, to remember why!
I was definitely long overdue for a brew. But I'm basically the only one in the house who drinks it, so a batch lasts a long time.
Already thinking of the next brew, coming up in a few weeks.
well you may need to 'brace yourself' if this contraption is too much fun! (if i remember until the warmer season returns?)
Did a 6 gal batch of Yooper's oatmeal stout today.
If it's not impolite to ask, Mr. Stout, when do you anticipate getting the BIAB Rocket on the market? Some of us are mechanically disinclined, if not downright inept. (Speaking from personal experience.)
I just thought of an even more ghetto version of this, to eliminate the bolts, etc. Drill holes in the bottom of a bucket, as before. Set a sheet of stainless mesh atop the kettle, then the bucket on top of that.
wouldn't that get back to your spilling over the rim problem back?
Not if the holes are only in the bottom of the bucket.
i'd think if the bottom of the bucket was level with the top of the pot, even with the mesh there would be some spillage?
Simple S/S cake rack ?Ha!
I don't think there would be much of a market for such a thing, and it solves a very specific problem. So don't expect to see a MaxStout BIAB Rocket Drainer at your LHBS anytime soon.
But seriously, it doesn't take a great deal of mechanical inclination. A 5-gal bucket, some stainless bolts, nuts and washers; and some strips of sheet metal for support struts. Only tools you need are a drill and a couple wrenches.
