Yeah I have them on my old keggle (soon to be MLT) they work fine I just like the permanent welded fittings haha. I have read the soldering stainless steel thread and thought abort going that route
And on the quality. Its a heavy duty kettle with tripple layer bottom, haven't got any hardware installed yet. Not sure if I wanna go welded or weldless.
Yeah its a two hour drive from eugene to them, but they are the cheapest for grain, and I didn't thing you could get a decent sized kettle for under 200. And my roommates are the ones that sacked the house, luckily they know not to mess with my brewing equipment haha
Sunday my brew buddy and I made a trip up to brew brothers in hillsboro, or and scouted this baby for $165
its a stainless steel 25 gallon :) they even have false bottoms for them too
Personally I would go for a keggel. That's what we did and it has worked great. Not to mention it was fun to make. We have not yet installed a sight gauge but probably will soon. We had got the keg for free, so with handles and spout and everything else it cost about 30 bucks. Not bad...
