I was in the process of building a 3 vessel propane system and have decided I might want to go a different direction. The reason is I really want to go electric and like BIAB to keep cost down a little, the simplicity of it, the small footprint and somewhat portability of it. My garage is...

What is the voltage on the cell charger? I had a similar problem and that is what the issue was. I ended up getting a adujastable one from Radio Shack. That was driven by the fact I could not dial my setup in enough to work on my 2000ml flask. Would work on my buddies 1000ml though. Once I...

From my limit knowledge there is a flux core for stainless but it is very expensive. In my opinion you would be better off finding a used Miller or Lincoln machine and getting the tri gas. It really depends on how much you will use it after this project and with that justify the cost. I...

Also I picked up the stuff for the $4.87 keg tool thinking I could dimple the keg out like the picture below (stolen from the other thread) then run the bead right around the edge of the keg wall. So it would kinda be like a lap weld. Do you think that would work or should I dimple in and weld...

Okay, that makes more sense to me. I need to tape a lot better too I think. I ordered some more fittings and picked up the stuff to build the keg tool. Think I am going to send this Keg down the road and pick up another one and try again. Still got one more to do too. Thanks again for...

No worries Matt. My TIG is the only welder (other then Oxy/Ace setup) that I own. I got into welding as I love to do stuff myself and bought an old Ironhead to turn into a chopper. I know I was going to need some welding done so I thought I might as well learn as knowledge never carries...

So here you are saying to put a small wad of steel wool into the fitting then the argon hose into the outside of the fitting blowing in and have the oxygen then argon go out the can on the inside of the keg? I dont think you sound like a know it all, just someone that is experienced helping...

I had never seen that, good to know. I was just going off my guide and was on the high side. Never thought about it being better to be low and go back over if need be. Makes perfect sense. I am still pretty new to welding as I have only been doing it a couple years. Always good to learn new...

I think the problem is you would have to find a reducer that goes from the larger 1/2" NPT to the smaller metric size. It might be hard to find the NPT to metric

Also are you guys pulsing at all? I also would do a small run then stop, go to opposite side a repeat. Is that the preferd method on something like this? Just trying to keep warpage down. I didnt have any issues with that though.

Yeah I guess I could cut it out and weld a bigger fitting in, probably just try to clean it up first. In my mind it is not a big deal as it is the HLT and will only have water in it and that water will get boiled anyway. Thoughts on that?

Thanks for the information, I will keep that in mind next time. The fight was tight and could have probably just did the fusion weld, didnt think about it. I didnt think and the turbulance issue you are talking about, makes sense though. Now I just need to figure out how I am going to clean...

Thanks for the responses guys. I will have to check that link out. I was thinking it might have been to much heat and to much filler rod as well. I was going to start using .045 rod and had both laying there and grabbed the 1/6 rod by accident. After I realized it i figure I might as well...

Can anybody help me out?

So I am not a welder by trade but have taken some classes and been welding for a couple years now. Did some research and found if I wanted to turn some kegs into keggle I needed to back purge. Lincoln TIG185 set to 85 amps (not really going full throttle though) and using 1/16 316 rod. So I...

That is Punksatony PA

I like the idea. How are you supporting the folding burner?

Right on, I am going to be doing this soon too and for some reason I was thinking of making a dam out of cardboard and that would use a lot more gas. This sounds way better With that method are you just using a splitter on your argon line or are you still using a second regulator and tank...

this should help https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/how-big-your-mash-tun-needs-123585/

HAHA I was going to suggest a file. The flap disc work great....I still would like to see pictures and then maybe suggest something different from that.
