Good morning forum peoples....
I have been struggling to get something to use as a BIAB stand from my Basterfield Urn.
Something that won't break the bank, but also doesn't have too little or too small apertures.
The classic pizza tray solution falls into the too small aperture category and I couldn't find one small enough to fit inside the urn (330mm diameter). Most of them have an edge that makes them to big.
The cool looking ones at Brew Engineers (one that Simon uses) fall into the breaking the bank category... and maybe smallish apertures...
So... a fellow wortsandall'er mentioned that he has a "wire cooling rack" which sounded like something that has big apertures and won't break the bank...Great stuff...... unfortunately finding a round one, with high enough legs proved to be the next problem.
However, this idea of a grill type thing, made me gravitate toward the braai section in Builder's the other day...
Where I found this (R110.00):
Cutting off the handles, adding three bolts, three nuts and six washers I turned it into this (+R40.00);
Which fits into the urn like so (total R150);
Yes, yes....done building stuff..... I will finally do some brewing over the weekend!
