Cutting Kegs

[Ciderhead]

Here u go Imark and I found out that the argos kettle elements are better than haden ones when boiling RIS for SCD barrel.
Also that the keg looses a bucket load of heat so looking at insulating now.

Looking into this myself with the kegs I got yesterday.  Saw this for making lids from the cut off tops:

Which kettle elements are you using there?  I had a lok on the argos website (.ie and .co.uk) and their cheap kettles seem to be the cordless ones, which I'm guessing aren't the ones you're using.  Maybe I'm looking at the wrong ones though...

Nope, those are the ones.

You will find the back of the element is kind of standard.

A normal kettle lead or computer lead (not recommended but used by many) will fit nicely. you can also use the supplied lead in the kettle base if you carefully widen out the crimped do-da's

Yep they were all earthed before I did my first boil, I deleted that picture as I wanted to show cut kegs not the electrics involved.

I wouldn't talk about keg electrics in a cutting kegs area as that would be clearly be off topic
