I grabbed an 11 gallon Bayou Classic on sale this week and need to add a bunch of fittings to turn it into my new 1 Vessel eBIAB. I know these kettles are on the thinner side compared to higher end options. I'm curious if anyone has successfully welded on fittings to comment on the level of difficulty. I own a TIG, I'm decent with it, but i'm not a professional welder.
I bought my fittings from Brew Hardware, and I plan on installing all of them using his pull through flare method that gets used for soldering. I figure that dimple will add some strength around the fitting. I'll need to install two 1/2" NPT fittings, one 1/4" NPT, and two 1.5" TC fittings.
Hopefully someone has done this and can comment on how much fun i'm in for.
