Title: Drilling hole in Stainless Steel for tap
Post by: mcooney on July 09, 2014, 09:21:04 AM
Hi,
   First post.
    I have a 27 liter stainless steel electric brew kettle and I've bought a ball valve tap that requires a hole 7/8" thick.
Anyone know of a company in Cork that would drill this for me?
I'm chickening out of trying this myself,

thanks...

Welcome to the NHC  :)

I'm out near Waterfall and I have a step-bit that will go to ΓΈ22. I could drill it some evening for you.

I'm busy this week but maybe some evening next week from Tuesday on?

Wow that was fast! Thanks.

I have to give you a beer sample then.

No rush whenever your free.

Garry , thanks for that.
The tap works great.
No more using a jug to transfer the wort to the fermenter!!

What to brew next, thinking of another Zombie Dust clone.

You're welcome, and thanks for the beers too. I'll put a hole in them tonight  ;D
