New Brewpot

Just finshed up my new brewpot.. 9gal 16ga 304ss I even put slots in the top flange to loop the hops bag on..

Nice! You make it from scratch or modify a commercial one?

From scratch. I am going to build a fermenter next. That one will take a little longer cuz I got to purge and weld the inside too.

Neat idea with the slots! Good job on the fab work. Looks like you'll be able to build a nice set of equipment

Did you fab the stainless or did you send it out for fab? How much did the stainless run you?

Solid metal table, looks like a welding table. If someone has one of those I would assume he did the fabrications himself.

I meant forming the stainless. I am a machinist and do a lot of this stuff for myself too, but getting stainless like that formed is SUPER expensive.

My bad. I assume he would have done it. I dont have as much experience or tools so when I see others that have them I figure they do it all.

I did all of the fab myself.. I have full machine and sheet metal shop. I did not calculate the material cost they were drop offs if recent jobs. I am sure it cost more than just buying one. But, I enjoy making everything I can. Plus it is always exactly what I want. 
