I have 3 MLT's. A keggle with a false bottom, 1/2" SS pick-up tube and wrapped with foil covered bubble wrap insulation., a 62 qt. Coleman X-treme, and a 37 qt Coleman X-treme, both with drilled PVC pipe manifolds. I like the keggle the best. The shape is easy to stir, I can add direct heat with a turkey fryer, and the false bottom is great. The 62 X-treme broke it's cherry this weekend. I don't like the shape as it has wheels so it has steps on the bottom and sides which make stirring a bit more difficult. It seemed to hold heat well though, and the wheels were nice as I was pulling it out into the back yard to dump it. My 37 qt is great for 5 gallon batches. It used to have a braid in it, but I traded it in for a PVC manifold. I have actually done several 18#, 10 gallon batches with it, but I had to build a sparging manifold and use the modified batch/fly sparge technique. I batch sparge with the keggle and 62 qt cooler.
