The thought of drilling a hole in your favorite boil kettle can be intimidating to most any homebrewer. Unless of course they have had some previous metal working experience, or they can enlist the help of someone having the skills needed.
The more adventurous do-it-yourself types, those who have access to a variable speed drill and the right drill bits, can easily handle the task, along with the help of some PAM cooking spray for lubrication.

Nice how to Vince. Definitely come in handy to those thinking of adding fittings to kettles, or any other piece of equipment.

Re: How To Add A Whirlpool Port To Your Kettle
Thank you Steve for mentioning this to me. I figured if I could successfully drill a hole in my favorite brew kettle, and then write up easy to follow instructions on how I did it, others might benefit from the experience too.Dawg LB Steve wrote:Nice how to Vince.
