Have any of you tried one of these? Looks like a cool idea.

I made one of these for about $5 in parts. Works great, love it.

Wow that looks like a really cool DIY that won't take long at all plus since it only touches 2 sides of the kettle it makes it easy to move to the side to stir the wort. I think I will give this a try tomorrow!

I have seen other builds where they use a stainless drain collar instead of pvc.

I made one very similar but when I got my 16 gallon kettle I had to upgrade to 5 gallon paint bags to reach the liquid in a 5.5 gallon batch.

I love it, BTW. Makes life so much easier when brewing IPAs and other brews with a lot of different additions.

A very special place, I think it's called Lowies or Homies Depot

Basically like evrose's but the notches keep it a little more stable. I do like being able to slide it to the side. Whichever design you go with I'd get a collar with a lip so the hose ring doesn't slip. Mine can get pretty heavy with hops on a 10 gal IPA.

This is the one I made.
A little more expensive, due to the Insinkerator flange, which cost about $12. It works well and I like being able to stir inside the hop bag.
