That looks like you'll either need a short still or a high roof to fit it all together. Looks pretty tall.

Cool will keep an eye out for it for sure, 50L keg minus headroom is not worth upgrading to for me from a 30l t500 boiler. But 80l would be awesome just right for doing 60l batchs :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Whell the boiler has been at the welders since march and still not done so I picked it up :oops:
That's the second bloke that picked out
So now that I can see again I will either have a go myself or pay a commercial welder [depending on price]
