15.5 gal Keggle and HLT vs. Cooler

[AsthmaticBowl]

I have had a Keggle mash tun for a couple years now. My biggest suggestion would be to pony up for the best false bottom. I started with a basic one that worked OK, but I now have the following one and it is by far the most optimal keggle false bottom: https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/fb15hh.htm

The temp insulation issue can be frustrating at times, but I have altered my set-up now as a HERMs system and the temp could not be more spot on.

Negative is that they're heavy as hell when they're full of wet grain. Cleanup makes me want to go back to my cooler, but the knowing the temp of my mash at all times makes it worth it.

I'm sure Terrance is Maun enough to handle the weight, just have a wheel barrow handy to dump into, then unload in a compost pile far enough away to not smell it.
