Heating element orientation

In our view 30 gallons and under is considered hobby size. Do not bring anything larger than this to our site.

Heating element orientation

Post by PapaSquatch »

I have a 15.5 gallon keg I plan on mounting a pair of electrical elements into, and have been studying the various builds here. Most seem to be a variation of the top image with the elements at slightly different elevations. I am considering mounting mine like in lower image, at the same elevation and as low as is practical. This should allow me to run a smaller quantity before risking exposing the elements to air. I realize it will be more work to fit the ferrules to the keg, but are there any other drawbacks I am not seeing?

Everyone called me a worthless nut for years, so I moved to OHIO and made it official!
