I'll soon be switching to all-grain and I am wanting to fit a keg with ball valve and thermometer.
Ball Valve:
I'm looking at:
Weld-B-Gone Basic + KETTLE Conversion- Brass with 1/2" Barb - $29.95
Weld-B-Gone Deluxe + KETTLE Conversion- Stainless Steel with 1/2" Barb - $44.95
Is there a reason to choose stainless steel over brass?
Thermometer:
(I have no idea what I am looking for here, suggestions please?)
Brewmometer- 1/4" NPT Thread- Weldless - 35.95
Strainer for valve:
This is another thing I have no idea about. I've heard people mention false bottoms, bazookas, bazooka ts. I'll probably rig up a giant hop bag as it sounds hop pellets aren't friendly with any of these products.
Bazooka T - $22
Bazooka T Sanke Adapter - $7.50
I'll be making my own immersion chiller(thanks to Bobby_M's video). Does an immersion chiller interfere with the valve's strainer?
