I am relatively new to home brewing (3 batches under my belt) and to the forum. After viewing everyones threads about their projects, the DIY bug has bitten me. I am still doing extract brewing and the kettle I am using is some kind of enamel. I was wondering if any could give me some advice about making a stainless steel brew kettle with a spout and a thermometer. As I mentioned, I am still brewing 5 gallon extract batches so is it worth it to put time into this project? I dont have any experience welding so I was wondering if is there a way I could just drill into the kettle and install a spigot of some kind?
