I just finished putting together my newest brewtoy and I'm looking for some advice. I built a keggle, which I have to say turned out pretty amazing. I used all weldless fittings from barginfittings and they all seem to be working as advertised. Hoping to test it out in the next few days!
My dilemma is with the volume markings for the sightglass. Searching around this site it seems like most people use sharpie marker to mark the keg in gallon increments, then just remark it every few uses as it wears away. I really would like to figure out a more permanent, graceful solution. If nothing else, just to make it look nicer.
My initial thought was to use small metal house numbers and epoxy them onto the keg, however I can't find any that are smaller than about 2" that arent vinyl. (I'm assuming that vinyl would be a bad idea to attach to the side of hot stainless.) I'm thinking I wouldn't want anything bigger than an inch high, half an inch being ideal.
Has anyone done anything similar or have any ideas for me as to what to use?
Or should I stop being ADD about how it looks, use a sharpie, and get to brewing?
