Hobby Water Jacket Bottle Filler
Here is my first homebrew canner. Electric heat source in contact with a 4 gallon Baine Marie that I added a drain / spout to. A local kid did the welding nice work hey?

I've read enough here on MT to figure out that I needed to add a water jacket.
Started by making an extension / bulkhead fitting
Attachment 16893
Turned a half coupling with a lip for accepting the heater element and square ring gasket.
Attachment 16894
The water jacket is 20 gauge galvanized (no contact with syrup) It has supports soldered inside that the baine marie sits on. A hole through the front of the water jacket where the extension screws through that clamps it in place and creates a water tight seal. 4 elevator bolts soldered onto the bottom to bolt it to the plywood base plate and a drain pipe.
