Hi all! I guess I'm just proud of my new shiny toy and wanted to share it with my fellow HBTers. It's a standard keg with false bottom, dip tube, valve, and thermometer (all weldless from Bargain Fittings, except for the false bottom). I have had some temp control issues lately, sometimes dropping up to 5° during an hour mash...yikes!
So, I did some looking around on the site and decided to go with the reflectix wrap. 20 feet later, and I've got it wrapped on all surfaces with 3 layers (5 on the top). I used duct tape to hold it all together. I'm going brew this weekend, and I can't wait to see what (if any) difference it makes.
I have to imagine that it will reduce my temp fluctuations. I'm going to call it my keg-ooler...
Cheers!
