Just remember you want the keg skirt to sit on the burner, if you go for the cast iron ones the keg skirt is too wide thus it sits on the dome part of the keg....not good.

Hi Keith,

I just did my first BIAB in my keggle yesterday, all went well apart from overshooting my mash temp a little. Probably should have turned off the gas when it said 60 or 65 Degrees. I got this bag http://brewinabag.co.uk/en/biab-bags/9-biab-bag-for-pots-up-to-45cm-diameter-0756406310853.html for about €30 and it is brilliant!

Happy Brewing!

Edit: Also, Ikea sell 34cm lids for €7.50 and stainers that look like they could hold a 6kg or 7kg bag of grain.

I picked up this burner from Hamilton gas for about €40 including delivery. It's 7.5kw

It's 40cm wide so slightly bigger than the skirt of the keg. I was really happy happy and no issues with it. It took roughly 45 mins to get 33L to 70 Degrees and about 30 mins or more to get up to a rolling boil. My whole brewday took me about 7 hours including a 90 minute mash and cleanup.
