I'm building my electric brewery according to Kal's specs. Well, like an idiot, I drilled my hole (only one so far) to 7/8" instead of 13/16". Now, I don't get a lot of leakage, but I do get some. I have my coupler on the inside, a washer, the kettle, the silicon o-ring with a washer around it, and the locknut followed by the ball valve. I get a drip every 20+ seconds or so, so it's not a big deal...but it pisses me off.
I really want to avoid adding silicon sealant to the setup, since that eliminates my ability to clean everything. My taping of the threads is sufficient, so that's not the issue. Any other suggestions would be helpful. I tried a smaller o-ring with now luck.
Thanks folks!
