Perhaps its this that caught my eye, seriously girls  :

In any case, I am thinking a neoprene mat that is used in camping so would be similar.

Its for my electric boiler rather than mashtun.

would that neoprene hold up to much.

It would be good over 100 and I would say outside of my keggle will get to 85-90.
I need it as I was going to get 2 haden elements and leads at 2.2KW for 70 stg, but ended getting another couple of 2Kw €7 kettles each in argos today.
i wont be boiling more that 30-32 litres but will need all the help I can get
25 boils I have got from existing plastic buckets and I have a spare element but no sign of any any need for it :
The holes are 38mm as well if I want to retrofit and suddenly come into money.
Maybe I'm just too tight

I have my keggles double wrapped in that insulation foil. Sometimes I overheat my sparge water if I havent been paying attention & the only way to drop the temp is to take the lid off for a few mins.

If you want neoprene you could just get some old wetsuits & stitch together what you need from the torsos. I can ask around & get you a few old suits.

really appreciate it but the camping mats are only 7 or 8 euros, i'll give one of them a go first.

Hi Ciderhead,

Don't know if those camping mats would hold up to the temperature of the boiler. I wonder did you see my post on your other thread http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1364599933/15#15. If not please take a look and let me know what you decide.

The insulation I have is http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thermawrap-General-Purpose-Insulation-application/sim/B002D8NHJ8/2?.

I got the same stuff for my keggles in Woodies. It was on offer at 15.00e p/roll.

I've used the thermowrap and it seems to help but I don't use any on my keggle and it gets 40l to the boil in jig time. 2 kettle elements.
