Can you provide specs, materials list and more pics?
Love the rig and love the control panel

Menards has some urethane powder coated strut channel (green only). How well does that hold up to heat?

Not sure if I posted the First one for the first brew on the stand. That was in May. Haven't had time to brew much since. I picked up 2 more kegs, and converted 1 to an HLT. And added a Bayou Burner for the top level.
Got a Belgian in 2 weeks ago which went FLAWLESSLY and Solo! This weekend I was brewing for one of the guys in the pic as a present and of course I had some issues (not related to the stand). I'm really enjoying this application. I need to get some wheels so I can roll it out on my own. And will start building my parts inventory for the horizontal iteration of this stand. So far it works great for me.

I need to insulate my MLT as well. Do you take it off to clean or just leave it on? Also, do you have an insulated lid?marshallbeer said:Mine from a brew day a couple weeks back !
gifty74 said:What are you guys using for that insulation?
gifty74 said:Nice, sounds easy to find. Are you using a direct fired mash, and if so I assume no burning of the insulation or tape?
sethlovex said:I got my strut and connectors today at HD going for a 3 vessel single tier on casters. Long road ahead
stratslinger said:Has anyone considered going with aluminum strut? I was talking with a buddy the other day, and learned that his job site uses the aluminum stuff in conjunction with a lot of caustic and rust causing materials - it seems a way cheaper alternative to stainless.
very few people are using stainless. most folks are using galvanized steel.it seems a way cheaper alternative to stainless.

stratslinger said:Maybe I should have clarified - I'm trying to get around that whole "heat burning away the galvinization" issue that everyone who's not running an all electric rig is dealing with. You can go stainless for fairly large sums of money, or I was hoping aluminum was a viable option. While BugHunter's response has me concerned, on Daves69's advice I took to youtube and found some videos from a guy who did a build using aluminum 8020 - not quite the same, but it's still the same base material anyway. In the end, I'm still totally on the fence, I guess.
BD2xu,
I am preparing to mount my burners in the same fashion that you did. (Two-hole right angle brackets.) Do you find the flame too close to your kettles?

no they are good. you cant open up the 10"ers all the way or the flames will go up the sides of the keggle, but i like the fact i don't need to. i think im getting very efficient fuel usage with them close. also, the burner itself gets very hot so the closer it is to the keggle the more radiant heat. I've never understood why people mount their banjos so far away. they are similar to burners on a gas stove and look at those, the burners are only an inch or so from the pot.
Hello , I know the coating has been talked about burning off . What are you all doing to protect it when it comes off ?
