Hope i have posted this in the right place. I have been pritty quiet of late and thought i might share some thing that i have stumbled across, with the community i have learnt so much from. i have allways used a non insulated keg. But i figure it would be better/more efficient with some insulation. Trying to save on coin i wanted to use what was on hand.
It just so happened that i had a car windscreen heat repeller thing. Turns out it was a perfect fit. Left 1cm of over lap and a 10 cm high collar which i just folded and taped in place. i was worried about it catching fire, melting ect but after every thing i had thrown at it it has held up well. I have tried lighting it (while the still was not running) and it was fine. Seems to keep in a lot of the heat and my run times have gone down.
hope this can help any one out in a jam, any comments / concerns please i am all ears....
ps i am using an electric element.... i imagine it would not be suitable for gas with out modding :think:
