Yes - i have one and will not be looking to implement the product until after I complete building the brew stand later this year

Guys, i downloaded the pdf on the high temp paints for perm paint coatings that appear specifically designed for high temp surfaces such as exhaust extractors (supposedly 750oC). Once the material is applied it then requires reasonable heat to be applied - then to bond the material (paint) to...

I have been doing some research on types of paint - similar to browndog, I thought about the paint used on heaters etc. I discovered a product called - stove bright. available in spray cans and paint and heaps of colours. They state it can handle 650oC - so it is certainly infront of the pack...

cdbrown - similar to Spoonta comments; I used 2mm SS rods and used a fairly low amp setting. I was lucky to save some SS tube to test drive in order to work out an appropriate amp setting that was easy to work with and did not create a hole at the weld joint. While welding the 1" boss, I did...

Hi Guys, 1" SS boss for heating element - purchased from BeerBelly some time ago. I actually used a lathe and cut it in half and stepped the boss so that it would locate into the hole prepared, making life easy for welding. As a side note i have done the same to several 1/2" connectors - I...

Dear All, I thought that I would document building my brewstand. For quite some time I have been brewing with a couple of converted kegs & esky with a NASA burner. Each brew day consisted of a reasonable amount of lifting and moving gear around in order to heat the sparge water, boil the wort...
