Hello, yeah sent out to a local sheet metal company, should think they’ve done what you say, they know what it’s being used for also (I used to work there) :thumbup:

Thanks for all the info on your build, i will be starting my keg build in a couple of months and this thread is helping me make some decisions. Good job, oh and how does it perform? Hopefully as good as you expected
