I've got my new 15 gallon keg all plumbed with welded outlet on the bottom, and a welded inlet on the side for my thermometer. I haven't leak tested it yet, but I'm sure it's fine.
However, my beer supply is getting low, and I've got to brew! If I use my keg as an uninsulated MLT (I'm going to insulate it and cover the whole assembly with wood, so I can set it up with a tippy dump, soon.) how much heat will I lose? How often will I need to add hot water?
Or, if I just wrap it in a couple of packing blankets for the duration, will that be enough insulation?
