On my pocketship I did put a cap on the fore part of the keel (that may have been my blog where you saw it). Frankly I don't remember what it said in the manual but the surface of the lead after my pour was rather uneven. I chose to put a cap on because I wanted a good surface for the keelson to secure against. My lead surface look like a still life of a small gale at sea.
Good luck on the build. You'll smile more than you'll cry.
