I bought a kettle with a kettlevalve 1/2" like so
I am a bit confused as to what hardware I need exactly to get the wort into the fermenter, I see I can get a 1/2 barb to screw into it and hook a 1/2" ID tube to it, but I don't think I want a barb sticking out all the time. I could get a quick disconnect, but I'm looking at them and I'm not sure if they are selling each side separately or what is going on, they either don't look like they would screw into it or don't have a hose connection.
Any suggestions or pointers appreciated, I may be looking at the wrong gear entirely or the wrong tube sizes.
