I'm looking at adding pumps to my single tier. Already have the ball valve on the bottom of the BK. I am going to go with male fittings for camlocks on the outside all of my vessels, and the hoses will be female on both ends.

So, I have a keggle and I want to find the best way to go with a return on the top. I have boiled up to 14 gals of wort, so I would prefer to not drill into the "side" of the keggle as it might just end up as a hole that I need to plug. I am thinking of placing it on the upper rim with a dip tube (like with a compression fitting dip tube I use in my kettle on the bottom) to drop it back into the kettle.

I hope that made sense...

Anyways, what/how did you plumb it for filling with runnings and recirculatung? What fittings do you use? Pics are worth a thousand words of course. :mug:
