WTB- Welding Services in Central/Northern Georgia

[TUCK]

Hello All,
If you happen to be or know of/are a good welder in Central/Northern Georgia I am interested in modifying a sanke keg to a mash tun with thermometer and spigot bulkhead.

Thanks!

I'm a welder and can weld sanitary stainless but when I built mine I used Weldless fittings. I did this for a few reasons and am very happy with the set up. I'm about 6 hours from you if you really want it welded but I'd go with Weldless

What were your reasons for going weldless?

 

[erichsmith]

The main reason was the valves still thread in to the fittings. If I still was going to have threads I figured if I ever wanted to change it over to something else I could. I've had no leaks and the weldless was about $5 cheaper. I'd spend more than that in argon, filler rod, electricity and my time so in reality it was much cheaper. I wouldn't weld a Keggle up for less than $30 for a customer.

erichsmith, Thank you for your response. I decided to just buy a 15 Gallon Home Beer Brewing Kettle w/ Valve & Thermometer I found on Amazon for $175 (I am listing the price and details in case anyone else is interested).

I was actually surprised how hard it was to find a good welder in N. Georgia, but maybe I was not looking in the right place.

Once again, thanks for reaching out to me.
