In June I'm planning to build a one vessel recirculating system, along similar principles to the German Braumeister and will need to buy some metal products such as perforated sheets of SS or aluminium, various SS bolts and stuff. Where do you actually get metal items? I'm a welding virgin and never did shop2 (or shop1 whatever) , and hopefully will find someone to help me. Damn you Tidal Pete for selling your welder :angry:
What I particularly need is some 'braid' type sheet that can be cut fairly easily, doesn't need to be load bearing or structural, it would form a circle that would sit in the bottom of a stockpot that has had a few large holes cut in its base - sort of a false bottom. The stockpot minus its handles would act as the 'malt pipe' of the Braumeister wannabe.
Any suggestions as to where you construction - oriented brewers would go to get bits? I'm just North of Bris. :icon_cheers:
Also, whilst picking brains, would a hole saw set be able to handle the base of a cheapo SS stockpot or is that too much of an ask for that tool?
