Welcome from Sammamish!

Haha thanks Lonnie - no need to really answer it for my benefit - as we're going mild steel but if the OP wants more information, folks can jump in! Mine was more a rhetorical question:)

Honestly, I still don't get the reasoning for building out of stainless. Sure it looks slick, but the cost just doesn't make any sense to me. Save that $ and put it towards nice sanitary fittings, all stainless tubing/fittings, nicer brew kettles, etc. Or heck, save it all together and put it...

Not doubting you there! Worst case - after it's built we find out it is in need of 2 more wheels - we can cut down the other legs and drill for 2 more.

Keg Polishing https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/polishing-your-keg-more-than-clever-euphemism-54025/ We're sticking with 2 large wheels - for a few reasons. First being this will have to make some "off road" trips around the house, through some loose gravel, etc - casters or 4 wheels on...

12/21/09 Update: I've posted the latest model drawings and measurements. We'll be meeting with our welder soon (holiday permitting) and making any tweaks necessary before we let him loose to build the stand. Starting to order up parts, both March pumps have arrived finally, gas valve, Love TS...

Hey Brewmoor - any chance you've tried these? I assume there is a seal in there somewhere, do you know what type? Can it handle these temps? Thanks

Have you checked out Jaybirds false bottoms? Check his post in the vendor showcase section. They are super sturdy, great guy to do business with. We've ordered 2 from him for our Sanke's. We opted to go for a larger 15" size with a dip tube hole in the middle, hinged so we can remove them...

First, I'll give you the typical response - try using the Search feature on the forum - it will turn up a lot of results on this topic. You'll find there are probably 3 major camps when it comes to burners 1) those that swear by hurricanes (and banjo's are almost identical) 2) those who swear...

Check out this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/stainless-conicals-oregon-150072/ He's actually a member here recently on HBT and has answered questions regarding his products.

12/15/09 Update: Added an updated 3D sketch, we're about 95% of the way in our design and will be sending it off to the welder once we've finalized our burner mounting / heat shield design. The new sketch has our "lift" bar - it'll fold out of the way when we're brewing but can fold up so we...

Well I take that back - although they did promptly ship ONE of the two pumps I've ordered and paid for, the other failed to be in the box. Of course they're on east coast time and 4PM PST means they're gone for the weekend so I'm stuck frustrated and annoyed waiting to get a hold of someone to...

Watch USA Pumps on eBay - they've got some inlines that are 1/2" inlet and outlet for $110 shipped. But $5 more and in stock is a good deal. Ordered my inline's from USA Pumps last week and showed up today.

Bobby - random question; but with your build - about how long were the hoses and how many total (just trying to get a ballpark # for a typical single tier build). In checking recently - still looks like Austin Homebrew is the best price for silicone tubing.

Bummer - hopefully re-tap'ing it works out. Anxious to see how the build turns out.

Jay - was that for all the Free SHI FBs? Been watching for the one I ordered - USPS seems to take a ridiculous 10 + days to ship from your area, just curious so I know when I should be on the look out for it. Thanks again!

The threaded hole in the venture tube (the inlet for the propane) that the brass orifice/regulator hose fitting is off center such that the valve plate cannot be installed and the threaded hole in the venture casting is oversized such that the threads on the brass fitting do not engage. With it...

I might suggest sketching up each "phase" in the brewing process with your new brewery - draw the hoses and illustrate how you'll use each piece of equipment. Then take a look at it and see if you can modify that anyway - it'll help you understand if you could somehow use a 3rd pump (although...

I'd have to ask what you plan to use the 3rd for though? Not sure I see a use for it...

So for now we'll probably end up going weldless fittings on our keggles and eventually have them welded (trying to reduce our immediate costs - as the brewery build itself is a few grand we're shelling out!) Curious how much weight/equipment a weldless bulkhead can handle. Anyone think this...
