I marked this urgent because I need to get it done today (welder availability).
Note: I know I screwed up, but I have to fix it because I don't have enough time to get a replacement in before I need it. I have a big brew party I'm attending this weekend, we're all bringing our equipment, and now my keggle is dead (don't ask, long, stupid story involving me converting everything to tri-clamp last week and selling off my old fittings thinking it would get done this week, and now not having the parts to just roll back and use my old system while I try to find a new keggle).
The Question:
Anyway, I have an old kettle 22 Gauge Stainless Steel that my welder would be happy to weld fittings into, except he's having the damndest time doing it. He can weld a flat piece of stainless onto the inside and make that work, thus reinforcing it, but we lose sanitation. Any recommendation on the best way to accomplish this? The fittings I'm going to use for it I bought in bulk and cheap, so no worries, I just have to figure out how to weld them on properly.
Thanks!
