Keggle build

After a hard day's angle-grinding I am quite delighted with the results! Any tips for getting rid of the little sharp bits aside from a file, some sandpaper and a load of elbow grease?

Get a sanding flap disk fir your angle grinder. Does a great job on it.

As Molc has advised these guys are the job, you may have to remove the guard on your grinder to fit it to your grinder, so make sure you have some goggles and gloves, and if not get some while you're buying the flap disc http://www.ie.screwfix.com/bosch-flap-discs-115mm-60-grit.html?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=Shopping&gclid=Cj0KEQjw5sHHBRDg5IK6k938j_IBEiQARZBJWiycenl3Qa1xuEY9G29-JZAbvaGVLUcnYBKBtbMU84UaAhGY8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

Thanks for the advice guys - that should save me a lot of pain!

A polishing disc will not only remove the rough stuff but you can Polish out any blemishes too. Apparently it removes any numbers that someone may have punched into the kegs

So this worked a treat - thanks again lads. Just need to go over it all again with some sandpaper to get a uniform finish. Some parts will get more attention than others

You might need to polish off the black band also 😉

I'm trying to decide on the type of insulation to use with the HLT - that shiny stuff or an old camping mat...any ideas?

Shiny stuff

Do you have to buy a load of it?

I used a camping Mat with a shiny background got from Tesco for €3 works great.

Looks great!

Yes but when I did mine I did a mashtun, boiler and hlt. I also used up the left over excess around the house. I picked up a roll of it in Woodies.

if you can reinforce the edges around where you cut for the elements you'll be thankful later.
Looks great though. Time for a stickerbombing!

Just one point about the choice of tape you used, I wonder will it stand up to repeated heating and cooling over time? I bought a large roll of sticky aluminium tape and used that to tape all of the seams on the insulation covers. If memory serves me correctly I also double wrapped the boiler with a lit bit of additional overlap to make it easier to bind the two layers together.
