Now I'm thinking about riveting mine. Not for concerns of material, just to make it a cleaner install. Heading to harbor freight this weekend.
That's exactly why I did it.  Rivets are far less obtrusive.

Man, wish I'd thought of riveting mine together sooner. Should let the grain feed better as well, no more grains stuck behind the screw head. I'll have to swing by the hardware store for some pop rivets.

Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.

And don't buy stale beer.

I'm digging the irony of this statement with your "if its not broken, don't fix it" tagline at the bottom. ;)

It's a rule that pretty well sums up my approach to brewing...but it's really more of a guideline. Geeky tangents and over-engineered solutions are half the fun of the hobby.

Heard back from Fred today at MHB, he told me the hardware is actually zinc electroplated steel. Just an FYI...good customer service Fred!
