What kind of magnets are you using for you drip tray? I'm looking for some to epoxy to mine, and want to make sure they're strong enough.

I'll report back after they are delivered and test them out. But i ordered these:

mainly because every magnet on McMasterCARR were extremely overprices, IMO. They were cheap, shipped prime, and if they don't work out I'll return them. My other option is getting my roommate to build my hanger brackets at his steel mill job.

Thanks. I was thinking about doing a hanger bracket but magnets would look so much better.

after looking at various reports, posts, and online data, i just dont see the use. a ton of hassle for little benefit.

R-value of most hard woods is about .71 per inch. That's a really poor insulator.

the wood will sweat if the temperature differential is too great..... just saying...

i understand all of this. but adding panels of insulator board is not going to make a huge improvement.

Nice work. Wish I had seen the post earlier, as I have all the tools you would have needed to straighten out your lumber and would have been happy to help.

no worries! i made it work.


happy to be finished so i can start focusing on brewing again. tackling the incorporation of a pump has proven to be tricky.
