I love these threads. We need pics.

I will likely end up buying one for what I need

It would be nice to find 1/2 of a 3 piece ball valve that was a triclover fitting. My 3 pieces of a triclover on one end and a threaded female NPT on the other. I need a 3 piece with both sides being triclover and would like to find just that one side

What I do or did, is transfer the cooled wort to a bucket first, then pour it into my fermenter through a funnel that had a mesh screen in it. Aerated like a mofo Or at the very least it looked like it was aerated. And filtered left over trub that whirlpool didn't get

Reading up more, I like being able to ensure pressure is set at what I want when carbing naturally after being kegged. Set the valve and let it carb up. Tap, chill, go! Might have to build a sounding valve. As it stands now, I use charts and such but its not always accurate. And i never force carb

Are a lot of people force carbing? I always natural carb with a sugar of some sort. Id dint realize force carbing was so prevalent. Seemed silly to me when waiting a couple of weeks and you have carbonation
