I've started planning an all grain system, and was wondering if any of you know of a good place to buy parts for the plumbing, like tri-clamp fittings, ball valves, etc?
I figure it will be less of a shock to the wallet if I accumulate parts bit by bit, though that's probably more of a mental cushion than an actual financial cushion. . . . .

Just an FYI.. I can weld stainless pipe nipples in kegs if needed. This way you don't have to pay extra for "valve kits" with o-rings. The stainless 3/4npt pipe nipples are only a buck or so...then you can get a stainless valve and any connection you want on the inside of the keg...

Good to know. I have a welder that I need to actually start playing with when I find the time, but having someone with stainless welding experience do any keg welds sounds safer (especially safer for the beer that will be made at least).msjulian wrote:Just an FYI..

Do you TIG weld when you do stainless?
I'll keep that in mind as I round up supplies.

Re: All grain plumbing supplies source?
Yep...TIG is the cleanest way to weld stainless...
