I just pulled the trigger on purchasing a 15gal Spike Brewing Kettle w/ FB to upgrade my mash tun. I only got 1 coupling for the ball valve (couldn't spend anymore on the custom welds).
I need to add a recirculaton/sparge arm at the top of the kettle. Has anyone drilled into these kettles before? The Spike touts their kettles as being one of the thickest on the market. To me, that sounds like drilling into it won't be much fun.
Anyone with any experience? I've drilled a Bayou Classic, but that is paper compared to SB.
Thanks!
