About to build my keggle

[Jkpatton]

Hello all

Long time trolley new poster. About to start my keggle build Monday. Been gathering information for weeks. Starting with the boil kettle, what amount of bungs do I need? They are all going to be welded and I have plans for a single tier herms setup in the near future. So far on my list is=
1" for electric element
1/2" for bottom drain valve
1/2" for top fill valve
1/2" thermowell

I thought about adding a float switch. Am I missing anything? Let me know. Thank you in advance.

I recommend a 1.5" Triclover ferrule for the heating element over a 1" NPT bung.

Thanks for the recommendation but I am working off of parts I have laying around. A tri clover setup would be ideal but not in the budget right now.

currently I have everything except the ssr controller for boiling. I have 2 pids from an old project for the hlt and mt later. I do have the option between welding couplings or soldering/welding spuds. Have both in the sizes I need.

As long as you figure out how to ground the keg and protect the wiring, you'll be OK.
