this is what Ive been using for about a year, finally painted it last week end, after scrubbing a lot of sugar off it..
it was all scrap and stuff I had laying around outside the the turkey burner.. the pot is a 20 gal 1947 US army stock pot stainless iron stainless clad, the valve doesn't leak and has no washers or seals, I am going to a ball valve though. I might have $200.00 in the whole set up
SS braid for both mash turn and pot. I'm adding a return in the mash cooler today for the start of HERMS CPVC

Noice!

Let me just say that Bub hates you. I do too. Put me in your will.

Nice looking stand.
