Yea older parts of Houston has that issue... run the water through a filter and it should be easy to solve. Down here (League CIty) my water is actually decent but I still filter it. drake

What do you mean by "the beer never touches these", if its a joint with solder, beer will touch the solder, solder basicly plugs up the hole/gap around the the two pieces and holds them together. The metallic taste could come from your copper or fittings (flux, solder), if not scrubbed clean...

Hay that's what I said, LOL. drake

How about just using SS washers, nut and bolt and bolt a washer on both sides? You can find flat "o-rings" that can be uses as a moister barrier if you wanted on the bottom washer.

thanks for the reply, I think I have settles for a ~3/4" gap on mine, wasn't sure what everyone else is using. drake

I was wondering what are the pro's vs con's are for using tape vs a pipe dope (rectorseal no. 5)? or does it not really matter? My application is for the weld-less bulkheads and some hard plumbing (all stainless). thanks drake

The thick red lines going to the HLT is going to a HEX. This could go either a single tier or 2 tier, the later allows a gravity feed back into the MLT and drains out the HEX coil when you transfer from MLT to BK. Thanks for the compliment on the drawing. drake

would love to see your design. drake

Honestly I would order my fittings from here: Bargain Fittings and I have gotten my fittings 3 days after placing my orders. drake

These things would work great in a Immersion CHiller or a HEX ..... breaks up the boundary layer on the inside of the tubing for better heat exchanges.... just my two cents.

I take that back... they do have it .. McMaster-Carr But I know there are cheaper sources out there... McMaster's isn't always the cheapest place. drake
