Hi all. I am moving to a direct fire recirculation mashtun with a sanke keg and a Little Giant pump.
I would like to be able to do step mashes with this setup as well as bring the mash up to mashout temps. How quickly, temp-wise, can you increase your mash without scorching the wort? I will be use one of Jaybird's 15" false bottoms with this setup. So how many degrees per minute can I go without scorching issues? I was hoping for 3-4F per minute on 5 Gallon batches but I don't know if that's unrealistic. Obviously doing 10G batches will take longer.
Thanks all.
Gregg
