I'm working on making the fly sparge manifold for my 80qt cooler MLT so I can try out the whole fly sparge deal. I don"t need to, just want to do it when I have the extra time.
Anyway, my HLT is just a 7.5 gal stainless kettel that's gravity feed to the MLT. With it being so high and "out in the open" I lose heat FAST. So maintaining sparging temp will be a huge PITA.
I have seen some of the insolating some have done here with electric HLT's but I can't seem to find jack on one that uses fire.
Anyone know of something I can use to insolate this thing with that can hold up to the heat?
