cool put me on the list! Thanks

will do! No more 6.5 gallon aluminum boil over pot.... thank god

Anyone know where I can get heat resistant stickers for the sight glass? I KNOW i saw them somewhere where they said i can get them in white or black... that was a week ago. I dont know where tho.

I MADE IT! All installed, sight glass and valve.

think i ruined it and hardened the ss, just need to get the last two rings on the step bit on my last hole... hoping to borrow my bros corded drill, my battery one is not powerful enough. i didnt know about going slow i read use alot of weight on drill and go fast

awesome thanks!

ok so its ok that its not bolted down tight then? as long as its firmly tightened?

I have the bit from bargain fittings. I have one hole done and the battery drill quit on the second hole about 3/4ths done. I sanded the first hole and can get the bulkhead thru BARELY, it gets thicker in the middle and gets stuck... i sanded the hole with 80 grit but dont know it it...

ok i went thru some crap with my cuttings... first the guy at HD told me that I didnt need a grinder at that a $20 regular bit could punch into the top of the keg and go around no problem, he also talked me into a $34 step bit which was chrome looking and i told him i need titantium, he said use...

Thanks guys. So deburring tool, file, sandpaper... drill small pilot hole.... if hole saw use blumol and get 3/4" and use olive oil.... i wrote all this down for saturday.

I got my valve and sight glass/thermometer from bargainfittings.com it says i need a 13/16 inch step bit or hole saw. First question which is easier? hole saw seems harder, secondly is this the right size i see 3/4 inch other places... not sure. Dont want to ruin my keg i spend hours cleaning...

on just a high polished shine or on all kegs for normal cleaning?

i picked up some powdered SS cleaner. worked pretty good. Ill try BKF when this ones gone, it was only 1.75 so figured what the heck

ok thats just MESSED up! lol.... i scotch brighted my keg and it looks nice and i come back to tell about it and i see that mirror keg! Some people say it looks "girly" or whatever but that looks NICE to me. I never knew kegs like that were stainless normal kegs. Thought they were special...

I hear ya, im gonna try the scotch brite, i can see fingerprints being annoying. My keg is in great shape. ill let you know what the scotch brite does... gonna go get some now. Oh whats BKF?

Yeah its a sanke for brewing... my bros and dad have one. Ill borrow it. Just thought hand was possible. thanks guys, maybe girls?

I dont have an electric grinder or even a power tool. I dont want to buy one just to shine a keg to a mirror finish. Dont have $ to spend on power tools, have an apt so no need really. I dont mind spending 5 hours doing it by hand. Is it possible?

or just buy one for 15 bucks on ebay

yeah they will rotate if valve lever is pushed DOWN a bit hard but it need only be pulled out to open and in to close, not up or down. and yeah they dont tighten any further when they reach a certain point even when you still see half of the thread.

They dont tighten all the way down you will still see some threads... get two cresent wrenches, or 2 wrenches that fit and hold one inside while cranking the other outside... tighten all at the same time... until you cant go anymore or see the inside seal pressed very tight to the cooler.
