So, what do you when it starts raining just as you shut off the burners to chill?

I know what I do, I run to get a lid to cover the brewpot... and then melt my outflow line shut! No better way to learn the problems with the new brewstand from Academy.

Nice work! That'll teach you to brew beer rather than watch the Super Bowl.

How did that dual burner stand work out for you? Is there room for 2 sankes and a MLT?

I brewed before the superbowl! I may be stupid, but I'm no idiot!

The stand was decent. I wish it had hotter burners, but other than that it was ok. You probably don't have room for a MLT. The space between the burners is just big enough to hold a few minor tools and such. But you could fit two keggles without a problem.

But this will help me figure out exactly what I want to build. Just one brew session and I had several thoughts that I hadn't considered before.

I did the same thing with the plastic hose on my old wort chiller several years ago. I didn't even have to buy an Academy turkey frier stand to do it, either.

54,000. But they can still get the keggles boiling in 40 degree weather. I need to make some shrouds.
