Keggle mash without direct heat
Is it possible to mash in a keggle with no direct fire?
|
Yes. There are several ways...
1) Using a recirculating mash technique (RIMS/HERMS) 2) By simple infusion of water of the correct temp. |
...and a lot of insulation.
|
You would be surprised how little heat loss there is, especially with a lid. Hi ambient temps help too.
|
I have used the Keggle as a mash tun. I did use a Banjo Burner to heat the water to the specific temp I needed, so I guess I did direct heat to the keggle. It worked well though.
|
It holds heat a lot better when it's nearly full for big beers or 10 gallons batches but I wouldn't leave an uninsulated keg alone for a 60 minute mash.
