I didn't realize this was an option. If you don't mind, could you show me a picture of your stainless steel hose / siphon? But to be perfectly honest, since my original post I've started to think about what type of connection is the best type of connection? So what qualifies a connection as...

Hey guys, My kettle is a simple stainless steel, Concord 30 quart (7.5 gallons) kettle. It has no openings whatsoever. Please see here I am looking to modify my kettle so that I can install a stainless steel ball valve & thermometer combo kit like this one. Can someone tell me......is this a...

I see. :o For a minute there I was thinking how flimsy are these kettles?! I just shelled out $960 for a 55 gallon Blichmann Boilermaker 2 (G2). Thanks man.

Well I'll pass on the "metalworkingforum" for now, but why do people suggest that the pot could melt? This is not the first time I've read this. Is this a popular myth?
