OK, so I'm in the process of building a weldless single tier brewstand. I also sent my 3 kegs off to the welder to have 1/2 couplings welded to them. The welds look great (outside), and I got a great price, but on the inside of each vessel, the weld is not so smooth. Is this something I can just hit with a grinding wheel, or have they not sanitary welded these fittings? I know next to nothing about welding, so I'm not sure.
Also, they welded 3 of the couplings in backwards. The threads only go about 98% of the way through the fitting. This means on these 3 fittings, I cannot thread anything in from the outside. Can I send a pipe thread tap through these couplings and thread them all the way or is s.s. too hard for that?
Thanks for any advice you guys may have.
