Decided it was time to add a ball-valve to my pot. I can't always find a helper for when I brew and dumping a 15 gallon pot through a strainer isn't easy to do by yourself. Adding the valve was much easier than I expected. Got it for $31.99 from my LHBS: http://www.mainbrew.com. Getting it tightened down so it wouldn't leak was the hardest part. Took some fiddling, but now it drips 1 every 30 minutes or so. I think it's good for now. I'll work on that next weekend. Have Cream of Three Crops mashing right now.
