I need to finish building the dip tube for my keggle. I’m not planning on installing a false bottom at this time. That’s a little further down the road.
My question is: can I use dry fittings because the heat will expand the copper pipe? Or do I need to solder them?
I’m currently BIABing & I don’t want to risk knocking it apart during the mash. I also have a hop spider, sitting in there during the boil and a wort chiller coil post-boil.
Mostly I’m asking because after 2 moves, I don’t know where my torch is.
