I'm about to start welding out my keg's for the eherms system that I'm building and not sure of the best way to build the BK to keep trub out and have good flow. Any suggestions?
Was not planning on a bottom drain but adding a 2" Tri Clover for a clean out. I was thinking of using something like Sabco's racking arm.Are you planning to bottom drain by using the original hole in the keg where the spear goes? That would eliminate any possibility of you whirlpooling, unless you whirlpooled and then poured your first bit from the keg directly into the trash. Might actually be a good way to clear out most of the hop gunk.

I've thought about doing something like that. One way would be to weld a spud or a 1/2 coupler on the bottom 2-3 inches from the keggle wall for a wort out port away from the trub cone. That way you could avoid a dip tube, have your port below the false bottom, have a big CIP port at the bottom and still whirlpool.
I have a whirlpool boil keggle. I have bottom dump to clean and an outlet where the bottom curve of the keg is to drain wort.

I use a pump to improve the whirlpool and welded pegs in to hold a damn to help keep the cone of hops and break material from exiting keg.
1 inch. All my tri clamp equipment came from brewers hardware.
Ya mash is bottom drain. It's on the right in the photo
