I recently scored myself 3 kegs for my brew setup :rockin:. I have already cut the tops off of them with my angle grinder. I am now at the point where I need to decide on wether to try to get the couplers etc welded on or use weldless bulkhead fittings.
If I decide to go the welding route I will need to find a good welder who can do stainless welding correctly. This would probably cost a little bit more money and would probably be longer than weldess.
If I go the weldless route I could order the bulkhead fittings, ball valves, thermometer ports, sight tubes, etc online and have them in a few days. It would probably be a little cheaper and faster but there it could leak or be be a pain in the arse in other ways.
Im very much interested in doing this the right way the first time. So should I go welded or weldless? Am I overreacting to the issues I have read about weldless fittings leaking?
If it makes any difference I am ultimately working up to a single tier system.
