I don't think it would take the weight of any reasonable amount of grain.
Have you found the hop strainer style bags to cut down on your utilization as well?
I see you've put that thing through 2 batches now. Nice. I really think the 3d shape must be helping.
Do you know a mcmaster part # for the stainless compression fittings? I can;t find them at my local hardware stores.
I'm making one of these (mostly done) except that since I don't have a ported kettle and I use a copper "wand" to suck up the wort, I'm making mine from a 24"x24" sheet, and the smallest face will sit flat on the bottom of the kettle with the pointy end sticking up out of the pot. Tons of area, and it eliminates the need for the hose clamp.
Hopefully I can give everyone an update soon on how the screen works with hop pellets, I still have about 6 oz. worth. I'm hoping it goes well, this thing is going to have a lot of surface area.
