I am in the process of building an Ekeggle to use for all grain brewing. I'v done quite a bit of searching in regards to design, false bottom style, valve placement ect. From what I have seen the most common valve placement is on the side as low as possible with a dip or spiral tube to the lowest point. My local homebrew supplier tried this first on his own set up and ended up changing it and putting his valve on the bottom at the lowest point. After debating on what to do my father asked why I dont just use the flange from the sanke valve and weld a nipple on that and have the valve come off of it. So I would cut a 12'' hole in the "bottom" instead of the top as most do. This way the valve would be at the lowest point, fully removable and easy to clean ect.
Any input, figured there had to be some issue or people would have done it allready.
