I realised the Esky I was planning on using for this project was too small this morning so decided to go shopping. I bought a 75L esky, tank connection, some 20mm threaded pipe, and a 3/4" ball valve. I know the faucet is not necessary for the recipe I am using but figured I might as well add it now for AG beer brewing down the track. I stuffed up when I drilled the hole in the esky because it is flush with the floor inside - preventing me from putting the tank connector nut on :oops: . Any ideas on what i can do to fix the connection would be greatly appreciated. The hole was too tight for the tank connection so i filed it just big enough to screw the thread through the esky wall and as is it only has a slight leak when testing with cold water, I'm thinking of using stag paste but not too sure if it would be suitable for food products. Also wondering what your thoughts are on using brass fittings eg. is it safe for food stuffs and will using different kinds of metal cause corrosion?
