This may have been answered before, but yeah.
I'm trying to start switching over to all grain brewing, and want to have everything set up to fly sparge when I start.
The processes that I have seen before (over at southern star) are full scale commercial electric brewing, so they have control over the temperature of the mash and everything.
If I were to build a mash tun out of an igloo cooler, what is the best way to control the heat while sparging?
Should I just get a SS tun? Are Stainless tuns that you buy online insulated/do they hold the heat well or do you have to constantly maintain the temperature?
It seems like having the mash in an igloo cooler would be a problem when it came to temperature control. Unless I was literally pumping out of the tun, into the kettle to bring it to temp and then back into the tun....
Just thinking, any advice welcome.
