Has anyone bought/got a Bergland thermopot that comes with the tap?
I am considering buying one to add my own tap and bazooka filter but wondered if that is possible as I also don't know how high up the pot the tap is
Any thoughts gratefully received
Thanks

Re: Thermopot with taps
Yeh, I got the 70Lt with a tap. But at the time,I read don't bother with a tap, as you will want to add your own. And Yeh, I did. add my own, as the silly thing that came was a wast of space.. So with the Qmax cutter and a ball valve that I brought , I could have saved around £10. As that was the price difference without there tap
Also.... If I had brought pot without tap... Then I should have fitted the tap to a off centred bottom drain,, so as to tilt it less loss. but that's my thinkins.
Hope this helps...

I just replaced the tap with a ball-valve. On the inside, I connected up the grain filter with some silicon tube. The height of the tap doesn't really matter if you get a syphon going.

Re: Thermopot with taps
the bottom drain mod isnt that tricky as long as you have access to the right tools.
the SS skins of the inner pot and the base are significantly thinner than the stock pots, and are easily punctured with a sharp punch encouraged with a tap from a hammer
the trickiest bit is grinding down fittings to fit within the base void and seal for which a belt sander is a very handy tool
but its not the only solution
