Valid point but even if you had to replace the top every two years you would not break even until year ten. But then I plan on having a full stainless stand. Most of us use strut to get us brewing now for cheap and plan to upgrade in the future.

I am using a Milwaukee Portaband with a fresh blade. I think I counted correct and for my stand it's only 11 cuts.

Very cool! I too have my strut and fittings, making my first cut tomorrow! Good luck to you!

A thread back from the dead! There might be some info here! Also Nice to see a fellow Orlando Brewer! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/bg12-burner-use-natural-gas-system-287386/

I bought one of the tan pumps a few months ago, I used it on the HLT to recirc/set the grain bed, I was brewing a pumpkin beer and even with the pumpkin in the mash It worked great! However with that said all I wanted to use it for was see if putting a pump into my system made sense for me. Well...

I actually just realized that the company I work for has a Milwaukee Portable Bandsaw and one of my co-workers said he will assist in cutting it on Monday. This works out perfect since I wont' have to pay any $$ and won't have to worry about the noise with my neighbors etc.. My Job is in a...

So I have my strut, fittings, casters, burners and pump. Still need hoses, fittings etc... I big issue is now what is the best way to cut the strut? I checked some other threads and it looks like people are using chop saws mostly. I was thinking about renting one but now thinking about just...

That's allot of tri-clover fittings! Any reason you choose them for the entire project instead of the cam locks? I can see using them for the sight glass but not so much the other sections.. Speaking of the sight glass, in that location are you going to be able to monitor the wort during the...

No problem. Just would hate to see someone hurt if it could have been avoided!

You might want to rethink your design a little, I know you have brewed several batches without issues but I would not be standing around your stand with 5+ gallons of ~210F wort on that thing. You need to make your corners look the the image below. I was not sure really how to explain this but I...

Humm.... Cool now I feel really stupid :tank: Oh well!

Are you guys using the free/personal license or do you have a paid copy? Stealth, I can't help you but you might have better luck posting this question on a CNC/WaterJet Forum. If it can be done those guys will be able to show you how.

I could not agree more! All I was able to do was spin someone else's sketch around! Could not even figure out how to edit the dang thing!

Are you mounting your strut upside down on the bottom? If so you could use some of these: http://www.strutchannelfittings.com/RIGID_c_42.html I also am building a strut stand (my strut just shipped on Monday YAY!) however I do not plan on mounting it upside down due to the fact that I went with...

I agree with Bucfan, at 60" and the Keg resting on the outer two horizontal struts you should be able to handle over 1,300lbs in the center. Your not going to get anywhere close to that and even with 3 Kegs up there filled with fluid. Plus the outer two kegs are going to have column braces that...

Were you insulating the coolers exterior somehow? Currently I have a three tier system and I use a piece of sheet metal to reflect the heat away from my MLT, before I started doing this you can see where the plastic has started to get shiny and deform just a tad. I was thinking I would use...

I see your point but even though I don't plan on having my MLT in the center this doesn't mean I can't have it next to the HLT for the HERMS. I can configure it as such; MLT-HLT-BK. Main reason I asked the question was too see if there was a true reason to put it in the center or if some dude...

Valid points, I do like the fact that I would be able to work 270 degrees around the MLT. Plus SWMBO will appreciate keeping the family jewels from getting torched!

Thanks Bobby, that's kinda what I was thinking to so at present I am leaning to put in on the end. I could always adapt it later if I went to a keggle design for my MLT.

So I am currently in the process of building a solid strut single tier. The Strut was just ordered and should be here this week so I am starting to plan the configuration out in my head a little and one thing I would like some clarification on is why almost every positions the MLT either cooler...
