So I know there is probably a bunch of sight glass builds but I thought I would throw another one in. I already had a selfless bulkhead on my keggle with a tee so all I needed was a thread in sight glass and I built it using a piece of clear polycarbonate tubing from Amazon $10 for a 48" piece. I ordered two but if I had planned better could have gotten away with one but I can always find another use for the extra.
And then I used copper push-to-connect fittings from lowes. $5 each (The link is for 3/4" because I couldn't find the 1/2" online but it was in store)

I like it. I just brewed my first BIAB batch yesterday and all the work I did to etch my SS kettle on the inside is covered by the bag. Looking to install this soon.
