Up for sale is a 25 gallon stainless brew pot from homebrewing.org. It's a couple years old and has seen about 8 brew days. It has one fpt fitting welded near the bottom, and it comes with a stainless steel ball valve and stainless dip tube. $150 OBO and it's yours. I'm in Richmond, VA...
I was looking to put a tri-clamp tee on the domed fitting. One side would have a cap and coils running through it, the other would be the blow off tube. The bad side is that I can only get 1/4" SS tubing to go through the 1.5" TC cap. I don't think 1/4" tubing is enough flow to maintain temp...

I had never really disassembled a 3 piece ball valve before I bought my chronical. When I took one apart to initially clean the chronical I immediately jumped on line and bought replacement gate valves. They are so much easier to clean with significantly fewer parts.
My first batch is in the...
