I realize this is an old thread, but n2fooz, I was wondering if you could tell me what material and gauge you used for the sheet metal "floor" on your stand. Is that stainless steel?

So you don't think the lowered back edge of the heat shield and the open corners in the back behind the keggles will provide enough ventilation? I see the point about protecting the stand from the keggles by having them sit on spacers, but I had hoped to provide a path for ventilation that would...

No responses? I guess I'll just assume all is well then.

I've been working on a sketchup model of a single tier brew stand I've been itching to get started on. I'm looking for any feedback on anything that might not work well or could be done better. I'm planning to use high temp painted 1.5" square mild steel tubing welded using wire feed or mig...

Sorry, i mistyped in the original post. The 1.061 reading at 168f was actually at 68f. I have tried to calibrate my hydrometer and refractometer using sugar water at specific percentages (15g sugar to 135g water = 10% w/w, 30g sugar to 120g water = 20% w/w) and both give accurate readings...

So IBU's will continue to go up if you continue to boil *after* you take out the hops? Crazy.

I had a few mishaps with an IPA batch today. A couple of beersmith settings I had incorrect really threw me off. No big deal, I'm still tuning my all grain process. I had the "Set Boil Volume Based on Equipment" checkbox unchecked, had a slightly too large value in the boil volume, and had...
