Hey guys, Im new here ... kinda, this is my first post but I've been reading the boards for a few months now. I finally picked up a keg that Im ready to turn into a keggle but I have a few questions first. I looked all over the board and I couldn't find the answers so here goes ... Oh I'm pretty new to all of this, I just moved up to all grain. I'm using the cooler with manifold for my mash tun, eventually I want to build a single tier system. I have a friend who owns a weld shop so I plan on having everything welded too.
1. Do I need a sight glass on my keggle? What are the benefits and disadvantages to having one?
2. Do I need a thermometer on my keggle and again what are the benefits and disadvantages to having one? Do I need to put something around it on the inside of the keg, like a shield or something? Is it worth the money for one that has adjustable viewing angles?
3. If you look at Sabcos website they have a piece that is bent at 90 degrees attached to the ball valve ... what is that and what is it for?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
