It wouldn't seal to the post you drill into the side of the keg. You would then still be able to use your dip tube to transfer beer out of your keg and maintain pressure.
Just use a weldless thermowell like this http://www.homebrewing.org/12-SS-Weldless-Thermowell_p_4639.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4Ou50M2y1gIVVJJ-Ch043gd1EAQYASABEgLs4PD_BwE
I have the same issue. Example that I would use if I have 22 lb of grain and want a 1.4qt/lb. ratio. And have 5qt under the false bottom. 22x1.4 =30.8 qts.+5qt=35.8. I take that and divide it back by my grain weight 35.8/22=1.63qts/lb so that is what I put in for water to grain ratio. Kind of...
You are about 2 hours from me. What exactly are you needing to have welded up. I can show you some of my stuff if you are interested. With the work load at my full time job it may take a month or so before we could get it. We can do about any custom work you would want
I use a hot plate stirrer. Something similar to this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Corning-PC-3...MAAOSweuxWR91z
This one was bought by a HBT member after I showed it to them.

Here is a link to what I used. I was able to get enough scraps at my work to complete mine and yes the new stuff works better. I did a double layer. It says to use glue for the joints but I used the metallic duct tape.

I will get the name of the black foam one today at work. The other was the standard wall foam insulation you get at the box hardware stores. It had a green color. The new insulation seems to keep the coffin cooler and cycle times have reduced.. I will get back to you on brand this evening.
I used fans on my build to circulate 1 pulling air up and other pushing it back in. They seem to work fine. 1 thing I have changed since I first built mine is the insulation. I went from the hard foam board to a black sort foam insulation like the material used on water lines under the house. I...
Great job on the system and really nice work on the video. I know you have spent a lot of time in your design and build of this system. It is amazing what lengths people go to to make beer. I have been working on mine for a year and a half nothing as elaborate as this. I hope to run 1st water...
Well so much for September. I had some relay issues and limited time to work on my build. After 5 months I have finally completed my panel wiring and check out is complete as well. I still have a couple of small punch list items then go to water batching. I have a few picture of the module but...
Just finished my panel and electric check-out complete. Won't be much longer for my first batch. Waiting on plugs for level switches, scaling level transmitter, and install alarm on a short post.
