I'm not sure if this is the best location for this post, but I recently ordered and received a new kegmenter fermenter from Bobby_M at BrewHardware.com. What made the experience special was the two 1.5" TC ferrules that Bobby welded onto the side of it. He sent me pictures throughout the process, making sure they where positioned where I wanted them. The quality of the welds - wow, what a steal for the amount of money I was charged. Beautifully smooth and polished. I recently had some TC bottom drains installed on my keggles by a local business and for essentially the same amount of money I got some pretty horrible (although functional for a MT and BK) looking TIG welds. I can't say enough about the great service and expertise at BrewHardware.com.

Thanks for the business!

Pictures please of Bobby’s good welds and it would be fun to see the not so good welds too!

Kegmenter with 2 TC's in the side?.....Sounds unique and you've made me extremely curious about this configuration.
Can you post pics and tell us about it?

Pictures coming in a sec. One TC port for a sampling valve and another for a thermowell.

Pics (difficult to get the lighting decent for the inside of the kegmenter, but this is what I got of one of the ports)

edit: hopefully it's obvious that the last pic is the weld inside my mash tun for the bottom drain - not Bobby's work!

Here's the full look

For the curious, here is everything put together, including the hop bong

I treat each weld job like someone is going to post a picture on the internet.

The burnt sugar effect is due to not shielding the back of the weld. This is common for welders that are used to doing structural or decorative welds where the outside is the only aesthetic that matters.

Makes sense - this guy worked at a local machinist shop. I was surprised they did stainless at all, but they were the only ones in town that did.
