Recently I waited for my water to heat and got to thinking I could create a better HLT.
I would like my water to be at temperature just before brew time. I get up early to make beer to avoid the heat of the day. I was thinking of a natural gas water heater (HLT) that would maintain 175F to 180F. The problem is that none of the water heaters I have seen would be able to be set that high (safety?). This hot water would be great for cleaning my kegs too. I want to wash and rinse in the inverted position. If any of you have knowledge of doing this I would really be interested.
