After over 2 years of extract brewing i am ready to switch to all grain and everything I've been reading about BIAB has me excited to get started. I have almost everything I need, except a large enough kettle. So I've decided to convert a Yuengling keg into a keggle i can heat on my existing turkey fryer burner.
For starters I plan to just cut the top off and add a ball valve. Next steps would be a thermometer and a sight glass. Also curious about converting to an eKeggle at some point, but thats another discussion.
Wanted to ask more experienced brewers if there were any design considerations i should make since I will be using this for BIAB. For instance a lot of designs seem to be set up with false bottoms, but that would seem unnecessary with BIAB. And what is a dip tube and do I need one?
Hoping to keep this project as simple as possible, but looking for as much detail as possible. Thanks
