I am making a new electric HLT for my HERMS. I am making it out of a 15 gallon keg.
My question is on the placement of a 5500 watt element. I am thinking that I will put the element through the bottom and have the HERMS coils sit on the bottom of the keg. Is there any reason not to do it this way. Most of the pics I have seen have the element go through the side of the keg and the coil suspended above it.
Thanks
