OK so i'm planning to go to all grain and want to build a Single Tier System...
First thing I am wondering is what size metal should I use. At first I thought 1 1/4 Square tubing (I may try to run the LP inside a rail) but was told by some non brewer friends that that is too big and i'm gonna make it REALLY heavy.
So i got a quote on 1 inch 1/8th thick square tube.... price is right but feel like 1 inch will be too small....
I'm not worried about moving this thing around too much as eventually it will be placed in my basement / Root cellar Brewery (yes with a hood vent)
What do you guys and girls recommend for sizing? Would 1-1/4 X 1/8th thick work? or would you go with 1 inch?
Also worried about going with 1/8th thick if i'm gonna try to run propane thru the lower rail of this system.
