So for most of the really pretty looking brew stand builds I see that have keggles or bigger vessels and are CIP most people use SS tube with nice radius bends.
Barginfittings.com lists 1/2" SS tube as 75 cents PER inch. I know that it is probably cheaper than that. Which is $180 per 20 feet.
Online metals, lists Schedule 10 316 SS welded pipe for $127 for 20'

Grainger lists SS tubing for around $100 for various put ups

While looking for stock steel tube for our brew stand. I came across some interesting finds at the metal scrap yard.
Most importantly is all this SS tube. The yard quoted me $3 per pound.
The problem is that I have no idea what the average weight of a 20' stick of 1/2" SS tube would weigh. I know there are different alloys and wall thicknesses. What I am looking for is what the average price per 20' stick would be so that I can compare prices. Heck if I can buy the whole lot, I could sell it to members here and ship it in long tubes.
Heres the keg we found too
