Well, ordered two, and only one has the "bonus holes", fairly certain it was not intentional.

Thanks for the advice. Didn't see any spots that plunged through, and will keep a close eye on the flame pattern!

Ordered some burner heads for my brew stand build, but when they arrived today, it looks like there was some misalignment when they were drilling out the holes. There's one place where the drilling went clear through, and several other divots where it was partially drilled. My question is one...

Might not be able to drink it, but it looks like you may have invented BeerGum. How long does the flavor last once you start chewing?

That's a damn good idea, and one I did field along the way. If I were to be making these for sale, I'd definitely do a keyhole, probably some lighter weight material too! However, this was an under-the-radar project, so I didn't want my CNC operator spending too much non-billable time on it...

Well, step by step, got a couple tiers done, now to measure out the gussets.

Very jazzy! McMaster truly does have everything! I second the commendation on the fold up side-stand, good thinkin'

I'm no expert, but I'd definitely try a test boil. I've always brewed on an old crawfish boil burner, and it only has a single wee hole for a single flame, and it'll bring a boil no problem! I'm also very wary of enlarging the gas hole. Seems the hole would be tailored to the proper amount of...

Post away! I think everyone here loves the DIY nature of what brewers get up to. Cotter pins would definitely work, but I've always preferred nuts and bolts, suppose it's what I grew up with. Plus, bolts are easier to loosen/tighten if I need to "custom fit" some mismeasurements :D

No, the majority of work we put out of my shop uses 3/4" A325N or F1852N hardware, so it would be tempting to just grab whatever we had available, but 1/2" will assuredly hold far and beyond the weight I'm putting on it.

I designed it with the express purpose of never chopping or welding the stand. I have seen plenty of stands made by brewers that had to be cut up and remade once they got a larger mash tun, or a taller kettle. The holes in the frame allow me to put on whatever tier I choose, in whatever height...

I've spent a fairly good amount of time in Mexico, and the ice has always been clean. Never had a single problem with it. Make sure it is the machine formed pieces, don't trust any homemade ice cubes.

Oh merciful heavens no! Maybe if there were 4 or 6, but yeeeesh!

Galvanizing complete!

I have a 15 gallon keggle that I just picked up from a friend that I will be using as an HLT, an Igloo cylinder cooler for the mash tun, and just a basic 10 gallon no-name boil kettle. The frame is a bit overkill for my current setup, but I know I will be expanding in the future, and I wanted...

Got it just about ready to ship off to the galvanizer. Now to see about the tiers...

Get a pile of Amarillo and create a Gumballhead clone! It's my go-to for a great wheat ale.

Hah! Being shop manager definitely has its perks. Gov't jobs for days!

Slightly, it's a "skip lunch and work off the clock 45 min at a time" deal, so I'm about 2 hours in at this point

Progress being made!
