So, I got a great deal on a 15 gallon aluminum brew-pot. I tried to install a weld-less kettle valve from Williams Brewing, but I drilled the hole a little off on the outside of the pot and it leaks. I tried to add another o-ring on the outside to seal it, but no good. I do not want to try to mess with trying to find a high temperature, food grade adhesive/sealant because I cannot nail down a straight answer on which one(s) are actually safe to use on the kettle.
So in a last ditch effort to salvage the pot, I am thinking of just having a the pot welded to accept the ball valve and kettle screen. If I have to buy a new pot, the wife will not be too pleased, and neither will I.
I have found a lot of info on adding a weld-less ball valve, but not on welding one. If you have a parts list, please share.
Thanks,
Joe
