My next mod it to weld the angle iron to the top and expand the cooking surface. Hopefully this week... check back soon

Now for the modified KAB4: 117*@8mins 142*@13mins 160*@16mins About half the time and half the fuel!!!

Ok so now that my kegs are cut open I did a quick comparison. Filled each keg with 9 gallons of 87 degree water. First up the KAB4 with no modification: 104degrees@9mins 117*@15mins 142*@25mins 160*@33mins

Hello, Seems like everyone is going to have to make some type of modification to the KAB 4 or 6. Some it will be the height of the burner (4.25"). Some it will be the size of the cooking surface. Yet others will have both problems. So im going to try and fix what I can and shed some light...

2 things: 1~ I moved it all the way up and it may be a little too close, I may drop it < inch. Don't want to scorch the wort 2~ The surface you place it on and the true-ness of the keg bottom can cause a slight wobble. My keg was straight but I needed to drop one leg maybe 1/16" to...

Great Information

Ive put a 15 gal batch in two 7.5g sanke... one for me one for the brew buddy. Also its much easier to bring to the BBQ of choice:mug:

im sure ya could have got 2-3 more in there!!! lol what about on the roof. Nice score

thought about it but, Wasn't sure if it would stay straight. Jig was quick and easy + free

a good vice helps a lot too

Based on the herms system im building: with two pumps After the boil I will use ground water with a CF. Here in jersey with the recent heat wave ground water is 87*. Then pump back thru the herms coil with the keg now full of ice water.

If you got the money for toys. Get yourself a glycol system. If you got a lot for toys. Get me one too.... see a few DIY systems. I may move to NC and it will be a requirement there Almost like AZ.. as a matter of fact even in jersey id like one

Just a thought! Instead of the pumps and dealing with the rust ruining pumps. Would using a small motor with a stirring shaft connected to it circulate the glycol enough to keep it from freezing. Though the coil would still need to be painted or eventually it will rust away!

Does this stand hold a full boiling keggle?

What burner are ya'll gonna use. I went with the KAB4 and had to make a modification for my pocket and sanity... im saving half the fuel and half the time. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/kab4-stand-modificaation-251497/

Used a dremel and their good metal blades. used 3-4 blades. With drilling all the holes and putting it back together about a 30 min project.

Thanks for all the quick informative replies... Had no choice but to build a small jig and use the angle grinder... Tired of Waiting!!! I cut the tube from the sanke insert and ground off the locking nubs so I could use that as the center for my jig. I attached that to a piece of 1"x2"...

Hello, Im having a hard time getting a neighbor to cut my two keg tops off. Keeps telling me he wants to do it in a day or two when i ask him. But those days have been going for almost 6 months now. Im at the point in my (very Slow) build, where it is time to have them opened. Tried to find one...
