Brewbuilder conicals thread?

Hi I use and abuse two S/S 72l Brewbuilder conical F/V's They are my happy brewery shinies. So I am very happy to share/discuss use/improvements/problems.
1st Issue is when I load to 60-70l the legs get stressed and wobbly,,, I'm designing a support @ castor level and Now a cooling jacket due to my brew space temps. WHY?

I’m surprised, my SS brewtech half barrel is still solid with 60L in it.

Like you say though cross members will sort that or even get a plate or mesh laser cut with the corners notched and welded on the bottom

@LeeH aye, "get a plate or mesh laser cut with the corners notched and welded on the bottom"
I was hoping someone had had this done and I could nick a pattern copy wink...

Im going to be following this thread. I have zero NEED for a conical but it doesnt mean I dont WANT one. Unil someonecomes up with a 10L conical for the same price as a plastic FV I wont be getting one any time soon

Tape measure, pen and paper is all you need.

@LeeH i'm just being lazy,,,, Making a wooden trial support first thinking of securing it with some of this Jubilee Multiband; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10M-Metr...452996?hash=item2ad1cc4a84:g:EScAAOSwPHZdRVf3

Unless anyone has a better idea?
