I am not a welder, so I can't vouch for sanitary issues, but I don't think that weld job looks very good or professional. I'd try to get it fixed or smooth it out some.

Yuri is a TIGger, so maybe he'll chime in. It doesn't look like the best job to me, but I've seen worse. Most that I've seen have a little sugaring.
Honestly I don't think it really matters that much. Regardless of whether this is your HLT, MLT, or BK, you are eventually going to boil you wort. Boiling kills baddies.

Kind of what I was thinking. one will be a HLT the other boil kettle.
I only paid $25 per kettle so cant complain too much. Another play quoted me 150 for the same job

I would clean them up with a grinder. I have seen MUCH better welding.

It's stainless...Just use a brush to scrub the junk out of it, and go.
I'd find a better welder next time.

I don't think it was back gassed at all but the front side of the weld looks good and it shouldn't leak. Whatever you do, don't use a plain steel wirebrush to clean it up.

I got some crappy welds from the stainless shop I went to also. I have decided next time to find someone that welds for dairies, other other food industry.
