Keg Mash Tun Conversion with heating element (RIMS)

[Jeffries55]

Ok, I've been doing some research on possibly converting my spare keg into a Mash Tun, with the hopes of finding a standoff/false bottom big enough to get a heating element underneath to control Mash temperature; I would love to see pictures of your setups if anyone has anything similar!

• Keg
• False Bottom with 3-4" to the bottom of the keg, seals around the edges?
• Outlet w/valve on the bottom-center of the keg
• Pump to Recirculate to a Sparge head at the top
• Electric Heating Element (~5500W)
• PID / Controller for said Heating Element

This is exactly what I'm looking for as well shame nobody responded.

Not with doing in a keg.

A rims tube would probably be an easier approach.
