There is always a little bit of boiling and burping from the sight glass, it'll be okay.

The heat shield SHOULD stop the sight glass boil. It drops the fitting temp by nearly 100F. I personally do not get boiling in my sight glass in the BK at all. The fitting stays at about 205F.

Looks great. Assembling mine now. Was your dip tube set up from Bobby_M as well? Was thinking about picking up the dip tube bulkhead option and the thermometer sight glass comno

I had this same problem. I have a 1/2" ID stainless pipe as a diptube and had the same size on the outside dropping down about 6". The keggle would leave a couple of gallons in it. I went with a 1/2" OD pipe on the outside and now it will drain all but about 2 tbls. Not sure why it worked, just glad it did.
