So I am trying to think of a way to do a multi-step mash in my Rubbermaid MLT.
I know there is a post here for a steam infusion device by using a pressure cooker and copper tubing, but I really don't feel like buying a pressure cooker and altering it for the steam infusion device.
What do you guys think of using a few reusable thermal hot-packs. I found a someplace where I can buy an 8"x12"x1" hot pack for $6.89
8"x12"x1" hot pack
These look like they can be heated up quickly. If you place two or three into the mash and stir like crazy would this sound like enough to help raise mash temps to say 149* to 158*?
The size of the packs and the description that it can heat up to 200* in about 3 minutes make this sound like a good option. I'm curious to hear every bodies opinion.
