Keggle Conversion

[GreenMtnBrewer]

Hey there everyone,

I am in the middle of converting some older decommissioned kegs into kettles.
I found a local guy to do the welding. Can you let me know how the welds look? I know nothing about welding so to me they look good enough?

Looks good to me. The test will be if they rust after use

Look pretty good, nice even bead, no bubbles. Proof's in the pudding, as they say. Passivate the kettle before using it.

Now what is passivate a kettle mean and how would I do it?
