Is welded better than Non welded on a boiling keg? Which is easier to clean?

What's a cornie top? Make end up giving up on this and using something else. Don't want the bacteria possibilities or spoiled batches. That's why i thought of asking here before doing it. I thought this was done all the time, maybe I am mistaken and they are used for brewing mostly

I have also thought of welding and adding some 3 or 4 metal clasps on it with a rubber seal on the lid and keg that I cut off, Not really that hard to do I don't think.

DO you have a site glass on it? Otherwise how do you know where the sentiment is when you are ready to bottle or keg it / pump it out? Does the site glass even show the sentiment level? What level do you put the drain at to do this. I will be doing 5 and 10 gallon batches. This is why I want to...

I haven't cut it yet, But it just seems like it would be very hard to sanitize it if you don't cut a lid in it. ALl I read is make sure you can clean it out good. Maybe a glass Carboy is the answer but I wanted something better.

I am trying to convert an old vintage Beer keg for fermenting and I know it is important to seal a lid on it after cutting of the top so no air can get in while fermenting and then install an air log on it. Any suggestions on how to do this.
