I'm doing my first AG 5.5 gallon recipe with BIAB. I am going to start with 7.5 gallons of water. I have a more squat than tall 40 qt stainless brew pot.
What do you think would be more manageable?
1. Brewing on the gas burner on the kitchen stove and trying to get all that water boiling.
0r 2. Boiling in the 35 degree garage with a more powerful propane burner.
My main concern with the garage right now is trying to keep the mash temp steady for 60 minutes when it's so cold in the garage. Since I've never done it, I don't know how quickly the pot will start to cool, or how much heating it will take to raise the temp if needed. I do want to screw up the mashing temps.
Merry Christmas!
