Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

I have no welding experience or equipment, but I do have beer to share. I am looking for a club member with the welding skills to cut an 18" section out of each leg in my brew stand. I want to lower the overall height to play with some different brewing configurations. I attached a picture for you reference. It is made out of your typical 1.5" square tubing. NOT stainless. For payment, I will open up a good bottle or more of good beer I have had stashed away. Thanks.

You looking to have it welded in place or take it out to be welded? That looks like something I could do. When would you like it done?

I planned to haul it to where I can get the work done. Let me check with my wife to see when I have a day available. I figure the sooner the better. Lets talk at the next club meeting and THANKS!

With Travis volunteering I'm picturing Matt's brewing stand ending up mounted in the bed of a Ford pickup!

If I could figure out how to make it work. I could brew any time any where.

I think a single tier system would be a good way to go under a topper. You could probably have a really nice setup in you camper.

Travis, do you mig weld?  One of these days, I'm going to fire up my welder, but it's been so long since I used one, I'm probably going to need some help remembering how it all goes together.

Yea I mig weld. I have put together and used a lot of different welders in my time in industrial maintenance.

Figured so.  Back when I was working on my old truck, I got a bonus from work, and picked up a small Hobart.  Then I traded my truck, and haven't used it.

I think a brew sculpture might be on deck for the summer.  And it's got to be extra wild, to make Prochaska jealous.

I have a Hobart 175 and keep saying one of these days I'm going to get a miller 252.

Jim, don't do it for my sake. do it for you.

Travis, you still game for this project? My wife is out of town Sep 6-8 so I am thinking that could be a good project for that weekend. I just need to find a place to drop my kids off which is usually not an issue. I am thinking that Saturday.

I have no plans for that weekend. I will try to keep Saturday open.

Thanks, I will PM you to lock down a time.

Sorry Travis, I won't be able to get free this weekend. I will have to put off the project for a little while...again.
