How did you guys drill the sink flange? Trying not to hurt myself...
Don't have a drill press. That is my problem
then use the idea above... sandwich it with 2 pieces of lumber and clamp it with a large c-clamp and use a hand drill motor.
I have all the materials for this build...
Have a question. I have use a 16QT kettle for partial mash/partial boils on my gas stove-top. The 5 gallon bag will hit the bottom of the kettle.
Any concerns with the mesh bag burning/melting due to the heat generated at the bottom of the kettle?
Quick update i got a STEAL on a stainless steel insinkerator flange at lowes on super clearance. $1.19 after tax!!

Now I just have to find stainless steel bolts, washers & nuts

Building one of these this weekend. Problem is my kettle is wider than keggles, don't think I can get away with 6" bolts. I'll have to measure tonight. What other option would be best? All Home Depot had was bigger ones in Zinc.
HopsJunkie said:I would then just go with stainless threaded rod. You can then cut it to size, sand the ends to smooth and it should work well.
From a practical standpoint, why are these built with three 'legs'? Two should suffice because gravity is going to keep the bag side down.
Also, why don't people use inexpensive turnbuckle bodies to create a 'press fit' below the edge of the kettle so that one can choose to use a pot lid if needed? They are 2 bucks at HD and you can use bolts as you see fit in the turnbuckle body rather than the eye bolts in the package. http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...53&langId=-1&keyword=turnbuckle&storeId=10051
That said, I go commando and free-ball all my boils with no bags.
