Ok, I am building aMLT out of a rectangular cooler and also a brewpot out of a used keg. I read all the posts on these DIY projects...go to Lowes and Homer's Depot. No luck finding any sort of fittings to build either bulkhead fitting with. No stainless nipples of any size.
For my MLT bulkhead I am going to use the setup described By Bobby M. in his post "No Leak Bulkhead Design"...

For the stainless keg brewpot, I have issues, mainly should I try the no weld fittings advertised on this site by several vendors....or just bite the bullet and take the thing to a welding shop and have them weld a couple of stainless 1/2 nipples in the side, one for the drain valve and one for a thermometer? Also, I had planned to cut the top off that keg myself. Anybody have any input into how to do this or should I just let the welding shop do that also.
Has anyone found stainless fittings or nipples/couplings at Lowes or HD?
Thanks
Ron
