So when is the Kickstarter Campaign?
Seriously awesome build. I wish I had the skills/equipment/imagination to pull off something like this.

Hello!
Fabricated the lip last night. I increased the diameter a bit in order to use the bayou kettle as the grain basket and do higher gravity beers if wanted.
I started with some scrap 16g 304 I had. It was a bit shy on length so welded two bits together and smoothed out the welds. Popped it in the slip roll, welded it together and then into the bead roller for a flared lip. I'll get to welding it on next weekend. It'll be a lot of work (inside/outside welds) and then grinding and polishing.

I am also working on a similar build. I found a SS basket in the bargain bin at utah diesel supply very similar to a grainfather basket. You could make one I suspect with the skills and resources you have available. Much easier for me to purchase. Love your build!

Very nice!! I'm curious about your heating elements. You have two 120v 2000k elements. Are you running them on one circut, and if so, what amp?
