I am American, 66 years young, married to a feisty redheadded German lady, who’s retired from Bank of America

Stayed here in Germany, Built our house and calling Germany home.

Thanks again.

Right now I am working on a 15 gallon modified SS keg.

Hole was precut in the top, and a drain preinstalled.

Looking at different heating elements and controls.

I am looking at one on eBay Germany that 4500 watts and 220 volts, but reading up on boilers and heating elements.

I am also finishing up on making a 2 inch reflux column, and I just got a double pack of stainless Steel scrubbing Pads/rolls.

So, still reading.

I need to have suggestions for the lid and sealing it.

Take care and thanks,

George

Welcome! Triclamps are the way forward for sealing and connecting. Loads of different diameters.
