I know there are about a million of these threads on here but I needed some place to track my build for my sake as well as ask questions if they arise. I was in the process of designing my single tier brew stand and got to talking with a buddy about if he knew anyone that could weld stainless steel. Well, it turns out that he had a bunch of 2" square tubing lying around and as he's a crane operator and there's not much operating to be done up here in South Dakota right now he generously offered to build my stand for me.
After a couple of home brews and a rough sketch up on some graph paper, he took my design and welded it all up. The next week, I had my brew stand! Well... the frame of it anyway. Free of charge, welded and delivered. Any home brewer knows this cannot be passed up so my plans to build this thing have been accelerated as I now have a beautiful frame sitting in my garage just waiting to be tinkered with. The picture isn't great but here's what it looks like:

The next step is to get it all painted. I will be using the high tempurature black paint from Rustoleum for the top and then a regular flat black for the areas that won't be near the heat.
The current idea is that this will be a direct fire RIMS system as I don't have 220 in my garage and really don't want to have an electrician come out and run it. Anyway... we'll see how this goes. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome!
Cheers!
