Okay Metalheads....
My7.5 gallon stainless steel brew pot was stolen off of my back deck (worthless thieves). I have 2 15 gallon kegs. I figure I now need to convert one to a keggle.
I was thinking about putting a stainless steel ball valve into the keggle to use as a spigot (if there are better ideas, please let me know as well). I do welding on other projects and in the past when welding stainless I've just used my normal welding gas and mild steel wire. It brushes up looks no different than stainless, however does not have stainless properties. This has not been a problem as it was a rust prevention issue only in the past, and it was for items for indoor use.
Making true stainless weldings, you need to use different welding gas and different wire. I was wondering how much if any effect there would be on the wort etc if I essentially had just a small amount of mild steel in the brew kettle from the welds?
Thanks
