brew rack

admin

Heres a brew rack I did for one of my friends here in a local brew club.  Maybe I'll get to see it in action....I hope.     weld it like you own it
Reply:Nice straight job.Are those burners on the bottom?  Containers sit above them in the rack?Looks like it ought to hold a lot of weight.  Water weighs 11lbs./gallon.Be fun to sample the product "Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:water is 4lb gal.and thats great work
Reply:Actually both are incorrect.Heres some borrowed but useful info.-One liter of water weighs 1 kg., and 1 gallon of water is equal to 3.7854118 liters; therefore, 1 gallon weighs 3.7854118 kg, which is 8.345404487293294 pounds. But at what temperature? Temperature matters. -1 gallon of fresh water is about 8.36 pounds. -According to the 21st edition of The Machinery's Handbook, 1 gallon of water weighs 8.337 pounds. -To answer this question more appropriately you would have to know the temperature of the water. As water cools it becomes denser until it reaches 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Below this temperature the density decreases and the water molecules spread apart. One liter of water/ice at this temperature will actually weigh less than one liter of water at, say, 80 degrees Fahrenheit. -The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics specifies the weight of 1 US gallon of water in air at 68 degrees F to be 8.32487 pounds or 3776.103 grams. -To say the temperature of the water affects the weight is somewhat misleading. If you take 1 gallon of room temperature water and place it in a sealed container, the weight will not change regardless of the temperature, although it will not remain exactly one gallon. Weight is the measure of the pull of gravity on the mass of an object. The mass of water will not change based on temperature, therefore the weight will not change. To be more accurate, the temperature of the water will affect its density. Ice takes up more space than liquid water. Therefore a gallon of ice will contain less mass than a gallon of room temperature water. However, it's useful enough to know that one gallon of water weighs about 8-1/3 lb. -A gallon is not a measure of mass but a measure of volume, and water at different temperatures has different volume-to-mass ratios. A gallon of ice and a gallon of water at room temperature have different weights even though they are the same size, that is, occupy the same volume. -One gallon of water, at 20 degrees Celsius, weighs 8.33 pounds. -A U.S. gallon (determined by fluid volume at 72 deg. F, at sea level) of fresh water weighs exactly 8.3452641 lb.Enjoy
Reply:Thanks guys,  It was just a tad tricky getting everything as square as posible.I had some very good plans drawn up on this one, so I was built in no time. weld it like you own it
Reply:Ok, thanksThe guy where I buy diesel was telling me that water weighed 11, and diesel 7.I better let him know next time I'm over that  way.  The real question is whether Light beer weighs considerably less than Regular beer"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:I am a brewer and that setup looks FAR better than mine.  My burners are home made and howl like a hound dog....OK more like a jet.  Nice job.  You could sell those.I use 1/2 kegs with the tops cut out, so 15 gals water @ 8 lbs per = 120 lbs boiling water.Nice looking welds and I really like the flames.David Real world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.

Reply:I had no idea there were so many people who brew beer.  I have never seen it done only heard about it.  So the burners can make some noise?   David and Broccoli seem to know a little about this.       Obviously your boiling water and something else...right? weld it like you own it

Reply:8 pounds agallon for water and you wont go wrong..around 65 pounds per cubic foot..

Reply:nnice lewray--i/ve found that building like that with angle is harder  to get square because the inside of the angle corner is round..check and check again  is necessary  as you say..and sheet metal guy.. two things to consider.. when you  put a thermometer in water to measure it  you add heat and increase the temperature...hmmmmmmmand also  while it is true that waters density sort of  maxes  out at 39.2 degrees,if you piss init just a little you no longer have to worry about it..just my 2 cents..
