Heating element orientation
Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2019 1:54 pm
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?
