Hot Liquor Tank
The original boil kettle (which was a 13.3 gal keg) was
converted into the
Hot Liquor Tank. I added a thermometer, a
site tube and ½" ball valve to the keg. The
thermometer was a "Weldless Thermometer" from Beer,
Beer and More Beer. The site tube is pretty basic, here's the
bottom
connection. The
top is attached with a small nut and bolt. The 1/2" copper
elbow is just used as a stand-off. I did screw up when mounting
the site-tube. I accidentally put it right above one of the holes
at the bottom of the keg. The first time I went to heat some
water in the HLT I melted the site tube. So I scrounged around
and found this
thing, which is sorta like a fender washer. It's held in
place by a big screw, anyway, it worked. I just changed the
plastic tube and was back in business. This is the
inside of the HLT.
