I'm thinking of switching to Biab and would like to modify one of my existing keggles. Seems like using a strainer basket can be really helpful. Does anyone out there have a strainer basket that works well in a converted keg set up? Trying to avoid a custom made piece.

I just got ahold of a True Temp single door commercial fridge that I plan to put my car boys in during fermentation. Temp Controll is hard for me in summer given +100 degree days. Unfortunately while unloading it I broke the inner pane of the duel pane door window. Anyone have experience...
