I'm going to be working on converting a keg to a boil kettle. How high on the side should I drill the hole for the spigot? Are there any considerations? I was thinking too low and you may have trouble sucking out all of the crud, too high and you leave too much in the bottom?

Thanks again for your help!
 
Really it doesn't matter if you're using a pickup tube. The effective location of the drain is there, not where the ball valve is. That's just how siphons work. ;)
