I have been scanning the threads on HBT for about a month to try and figure the best approach to my problems and seem to find conflicting information which is the right direction to go. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
What I want:
1. I want to attach a coupler/threaded male to the lid of 2 stainless kettle lids exactly how the Brutus Ten is built. My simple answer is to drill a hole, solder a coupler from both sides of the lid and boom! that's it. It really does not need to be waterproof because it is on the lid.
Questions: a) Is soldering the best way to go or should I weld it.
b) If I weld it what exactly is a sanitary weld?
c) I see there clovers on MoreBeer is that a better option?
2. I want to change my weldless port on my keggle Mash tun.
My simple answer is to do exactly what I wrote above
Questions: a) since this connection needs to be waterproof is welding better?
b) Again what is sanitary weld? Do I need to get a different type of wire? Or just polish it down nicely to prevent microbes?
If someone can please help me out so I can finally finish my Brutus Clone my wife will be very thankful! (and so will I)
