    My Weldless Build Using Strut

    Strut seems pricey. $18 for a 10 ft section at lowes

    My Weldless Build Using Strut

    Didn't truly realize the height until the casters went on. But honestly the pump moves all the liquid with ease. Even after brewing we pump water up top, toss some pbw in there, fire up the burner and recirculate. After a few more brews we may lower it a little but the beauty of the strut it...

    My Weldless Build Using Strut

    I've seen those 10 tip burners and have always been impressed wth their flexibility. I got the 23 tips dirt cheap and with a gate valve can throttle them quite well too. Either way I say flame on!

    I am sure you can find some straight out of the box SS at an electrical supply house. All I had available locally was the galv. SS. I know it tacked on a few bucks but I expect this beast to last us quite some time. I tried to special order SS from Lowes but they do not carry the 1 5/8" x 1 5/8"...

    My Weldless Build Using Strut

    We used some 12 ga. copper ground wire and just wound it around a few times and pulled it all tight. It is kind of an odd rig but it will hold it pretty well. I will be looking for a more "permanent" solution as always.

    My Weldless Build Using Strut

    No video unfortunately. I am kicking myself for at least not making a bunch of short vids of the assembly. When I went to rent the saw they were pushing those cheap china blades big time and I am glad I didnt use them. I did go all stainless steel on the stand, just the thought of building...

    My Weldless Build Using Strut

    Well Sunday was our funday and we ended up cutting 7 of the 10' 12ga. strut sections and assembled everything. We rented a chop saw for the weekend and if you do, do yourself a favor and go to HD/Lowes and pick up their Dewalt saw blade specifically for stainless steel. There is even a...

    Just a heads up to everyone. This Sunday we are going to assemble and take pics of the process regarding the use of the unistrut. So if you have any questions let us know and we will try to answer during the construction day.

    Keggle bought on Ebay woes.

    Honestly it is non reactive and never cracked or gave any off flavors. If you are looking to salvage a keg then give it a shot, to the homers out there you are simply speaking out of your behind. Its $4 and if it doesnt work then so be it, worst case you are only out an extra $4 when you drop it...

    Keggle bought on Ebay woes.

    Get some jb weld from lowes, they make a putty that you mix together like playdoh. I did a similar thing and it patched up like a charm.

    Post brew day question.

    Brewed a big beer yesterday, 1.070. Kept the keggle in the garage covered due to frozen water spigots so no immersion chiller. We had started the us-05 rehydration that afternoon due to our expected finish time (oops). Aerated the wort with a drill and sterilized paint stir, pitched 1.5 packets...

    Ward Labs results

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I run the home on a softener, was just curious if it was feasible to use this water. Looks like to the store I go for some water.
