(OP)
What is the best way to repair ½” +/- space for moment connection between the face of column and beam flange?  

RE: Moment connection

2RRS
Are you saying you have a 1/2" root and the connection needs to be complete pen. welded?  

RE: Moment connection

You can add cap plates to the beam flanges and fillet weld them far enough back on the beam to develope the plates - then full pen the plate to the column web.

RE: Moment connection

i'd interpreted the question as being a 1/2" space ... I'd've wedged in some shims and either bolted or welded the lot together

RE: Moment connection

I vote for WillisV's fix.  This gives a connection with both flanges and web welded to the column.

RE: Moment connection

What about "buttering" the beveled groove face to achieve the required groove angle and root gap(opening)?

RE: Moment connection

henri2...not acceptable by AWS unless you qualify the process.
