Hi
I just bought one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0959413614
It has some really dodgy welding, both bits associated with the elbow. One 3mm deep gash where the weld has been ground down at the bottom of the barrel and a huge lip in the exit part of the elbow where the screw thread has been welded on.
I'm a bit worried that I am going to find it pretty hard to guarantee that it is properly sanitised. My experience with home brewing suggest that this would then be a recipe not for great sausage but a disaster.
I've written to the trader but my question is, am I being too uptight and event he original trespade is made with similar issues or have I bought a dodgy poorly QC'd chinese knock off that is going to give my botulism! So should I send it back, grind the lip down with a dremel (assuming its even possible) or don't panic?
Thanks in advance!
