As above really. I'm in the process of building my control panel (going to gradually become a Kal clone, built in phases), and I'm adding my elements to my existing 50l brew pots this weekend.
I see a lot of people using kegs to make brew pots, & I feel as though this would be better for the worktop/ counter surface and the hot water will be raised slightly by the rim of the kegs so the metal touching the table will not be as hot. My pots are just pots, so I'm wondering if the hot bottom of the pots during operation are going to damage the counter? In Kals system I see he just has them sat on a wooden stand, without any further protection between that and the pot, but I don't know if perhaps I should buy a heat proof mat or something to sit the pot on?
Thanks in advance?
