I am getting ready to place an order for a S.S. ball valve for my brew
kettle. I'm trying to decide between a 2 piece for $18.25 and a 3
piece for $26.54. Does anyone have strong feelings one way or the
other?
Thanks,
Bob

Just try to get a full port, and 1/2 inch is better than 3/8. Note that
I have seen full port SS ball valves at my local Lowes -- you may not
need to order them.

Research it and I think U will see that SS is used for fermenters or
storage,NOT boil pots.Brass is cheaper (6 bux?) and since U will not be
exposing it longterm to beer,brass works fine.

I really like the Blichmann 3-piece ball valve. With it you have the
ability to totally disassemble it for cleaning, sanitation, etc. You
can pick it up off of brewcitysupplies.com for 25.00, so that's a
pretty decent price for a quality item. I have a couple Blichmann
items and they are all top-notch.
Just my .02 :)
