I was originally going to do it that way. They aren't going anywhere. There are 3 ea, 3 inch deck screws on either end (in each 2x4) and the 2x4's are glued together. I would feel confident hanging from them myself much less a bag of some grains. The only reason I put two crossbeams was I...

Okay here it is! I give you the brewvelator. My carpentry skills aren't that great. I had issues with the left (important) side not being square. I was originally going to put together the 2x4 hoist and then attach it but I ended up stick building it. It would have been better the other...
