I bought a 50 litre blue mango chutney barrel off eBay as a beer making boiler. I successfully installed two kettle elements through 30mm opposite holes, then I went to drill a 20mm hole for the tap. This went wrong, leaving me with a
20mm x 30mm oval jagged hole. I need to blank this off well enough for it to stand 90 min boiling without leaking. Any ideas please how to blank off this hole in a 38cm diameter barrel made of roughly 3mm thick brittle plastic? The other alternative is to buy another barrel and kettles ruining a lot of work, which I don't want to do. TIA, Pete- posted
