I posted yesterday about how to get the top cut off my keg to make a brew pot. I called two welding shops today to see if they would cut it off with a plasma cutter. Both declined.
After work I got out my 4inch grinder and safety glases and in 30 minutes it was topless. I cut the hole bigger than some i've seen on here...13 inches but I wanted enough room to stir and I never use a lid on my brewpot anyway. I;m pretty happy with the way it turned out.
I plan to use the top piece I cut out to practice my soldering before I actually try it on the keg.
I also started my MLT rectangular cooler using the leak free MLT method that was posted on here.
Question...instead of a stainless 1/2 nipple as part of the bulkhead connection why can't I use a brass nipple instead. Stainless is impossible to get around here and I am too impatient to order one online.
BTW-I had no idea a stepbit was over $40.....nearly fell out at the checkout counter.
