I might make an insert, like a stove top grate, that can be easily removed, and cleaned.

Thanks FooFan! The dump system works great, and stores away nicely when not in use.

The owner of the feed store is a home brewer. He told me that he bought 40 of them, and has sold all of them except 3 over the past 10 years. They are nice. I am going to have a tough time making a false bottom for the mash tun.

I haven't elevated the kettles. I should have made something, before I had it powder coated. The bottom of the kettles are convex shaped, unlike a keggle. It is only 1/2" depth of convex. The flame will probably deflect downward slightly onto the frame. I will have to do something to prevent the...

I bought them in Colleyville,Texas at Foreman's Feed Store. They cat $100 each, and already cut with handles. They are 16" diameter and 24" tall. They hold approximately 20 gallons. They were originally liquid nitrogen dispensers.

I made a heat baffle on the front side of the burners to help dissipate the heat. My controls are going to be mounted on the front middle area. See pic.

I finally finished the brewstand frame and had it powder coated. I used high temp chrome powder coat. It looks great.

I just finished installing my gas valves this week. I used 1/2" black pipe for the gas supply. Mine is very similar to your drawing. From the gas beam I installed a 3" male riser to a brass ball valve. Then a male coupler (short). Then I installed a female 90. Then a coupler ( short). Then...

Thank you Bodhi !! Fortunately my boss likes my beer too. I told them, the sooner I get the stand done, the sooner I brew more beer.

Thank you! I am trying to keep the overall (stored) height to a maximum of 43". This design will collapse down to almost flush with the upper surface.

Thank you Kladue for your response. As I mentioned...I got these gas valves with all of the goodies for $$Free$$. That being said, would I be better off, and bite the bullet to purchase 24V valves with pilot light assy? Why is it that most brewers do not have a gas control (Honeywell) on...

I also installed the Tippy Dump. This one is different. I made a clamp collar from .041 stainless. Then I made two spindles that will be welded on at 180° from each other to the collar. Then I made two identical arms that are hinged in the front side of the system. When I...

I got some work on the Brutus today. The gas beam was completed last week. Today I leak checked, and installed the beam on the back side of the system. The supply port is on the lower side.

I am curious...Why do most of the Brutus brew stands have gas valves for the HLT and MLT, but not the boiler? Would it be better to control all three burners? Why are most of the gas valves I have seen used, are 24V? Is it cost? Will 120V valves work? Has anyone tried to Direct Spark the...

I have started building the frame. I chose to build it from 1.5" steel. 3/16" thickness. 60" wide x 20" deep x39" tall including 4" casters. (fuzzy iPhone pics) I am building this Brutus during breaks and lunch time at work. I am using 2 each BG-14 LP burners. One for the HLT and one for...

Here are my kettles. They are not keggles. Originally they were used to store and dispense liquid nitrogen. The valve body was removed, and handles were welded on at the top. They measure 16" in diameter and are 25" tall. The shelf that they are sitting in front of is going to be removed. This...

I've been researching long enough...now it's time to build. I am going to need some help. Specs: Must be able to store Brutus in garage with cars parked. Should be semi-automated. (user friendly) Built from scrap metal in shop. Portable from garage to back patio...

I purchased a temp controller from Grainger. I went with the TSX-10140. I also installed a thermistor with 10' cable length. I have lined the ferm chamber with .80" conolite, to prevent damaging the insulation panels. I placed the sensor into a yeast vial filled with freezer pack goo. It...

Android I looked at your Ebay temp controller. Can you get that where it reads °F instead of °C? And does it come with a thermocouple?
