Even tried burning it off too then sanding but still get porosity, in the end I just use a clean glove for the filler feed and that seems to work.
Now for hard soldering putting the solder piece ontop of a burner can speed up the process by a huge margin as copper is a natural heatsink if another heat source is there the part you heat with a torch will get upto temp that much quicker.
Cheers Bryan

Decided to assemble what parts I do have so far, hopefully I will get inspired and finish it someday.
Coming together nicely Russ!
Just keep thinking of how shiney it will look all polished up... not to mention the tasty nectar that will flow from it! That should keep you going. :laughing-rolling:

Russ wrote:Cheers guys, sounds like at least it will work as it is for now if I have to. I would like to add a 6" ferrule and end cap to allow for cleaning as well eventually, though it gets a bit cozy on the top of the keg, might have to do some creative angle grinding.
At the moment I just have a 50mm welded threaded fitting with cap that I was going to maybe shove a clean in place sphere down to clean out the boiler.
