Keggle build

[Ibecake]

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.

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

It's really only a temporary solution, Already had to remove to clean wort from between the foam and Keg wall, I'm planning on a HLT with built in Herms in the next few weeks.

Was that due to something leaking or because of spillage?

Spillage during a BIAB session. At the top of a keg there is a few holes to allow drainage. On lifting Bag at end of mash and because I wasn't paying attention I lost about a litre of sticky wort through the drainage holes. Just something to look out for.

out of sight, out of mind.
If something gets inside the insulation i generally just leave it there. Can't be arsed re-taping it every time.
