All, I am about to send my keggles to the welder and I have a question. First of all, it is a buddy, so the welds are going to basicly free. I originally was going to have him weld a coupler for the ball valve and a half coupler for the siteglass/thermo combo, about 3-5" apart. I ordered all the parts and was getting them ready for him. I guess I ordered to many full couplers and have 5 spare.(did not realize the siteglass/thermo came with them) I was wonder if I should have him weld the extra ones in, even if I am not going to use them and just get some plugs from Bargin or McMaster.
I am going to start with a gravity feed system and as I can afford or sneak by the SWMBO, upgrade the system with pumps, would love to go electric some day. I was thinking since he is doing the welds for some beer, should I just add the other two couplers and plan for the future, and if so where?
One right below the top lip for recirc, one a little below half way for a temp probe?
To start, these are going to be my HLT and my BK. I am going to use a 70qt cooler for the MLT.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am a Extract brewing planning to move to AG this spring, just starting to get the equipment ready.
