Keg Boiler with Options

[Oldvine Zin]

Hi everyone I'm new to distilling but reading almost everything, now building and trying to do my best. My goal is to make a great Grappa. Ultimate plan is to have a double bath (bain marie) pot still setup. Knowing that I have so much to learn I'm planning on making a modular boiler setup that I can grow and learn with .
After deciding that I wanted to go the keg route the next step was to get a keg. Easy right? Craigs list get a keg for almost nothing, lots of them out there with our artisan brewers name on them, with a little more reading learned about the hardships of the craft brewers replacing the stolen or lost kegs. - Don't want that bad karma on my shine! Bought a nice shinny new one for only a little more than a used stolen one.
