    is a giant water boiling kettle good for brewing?

    Without knowing what element is in it or if it is going to be directly touching the wort I can't really say. It can ALWAYS be an HLT that's for sure. Cheers Jay

    Self closing spring in Intertap faucets not doing a good job at self closing/sticking

    Exactly! I LOVE mine as well. Tear em down and clean them and make sure the spring is in the correct way and the bonnets aren't super tight. Something doesn't seem right. I have 9 of them on my system and all of them have been MONEY! Cheers Jay

    CLOSED TRANSFER QUESTION

    FOXX equipment used to sell a 1/2" barb to 1/4" FFL swivel. Check them. They were a little spendy but if you wanted to go from 1/2" tubing to 1/4" gas or liquid fitting it's available. Cheers Jay
