I have been looking at trying AG in the near future. Just trying to read as much as I can understand the process. I have been looking at the dual Gott type cooler setups. I looks like a good start. I have a few questions and assumptions if someone wouldnt mind answered and confirming...
Why the two coolers? I saw a GREAT post by a member [sorry forgot name] but he posted great pics of his process with a SINGLE cooler.
1) Boil Water
2) Add water to grains in cooler
3) Steep @ 158ish for 60 minutes
4) take runnings, recycle till clear
5) run off into brew kettle
6) sparge off 2nd runnings into brew kettle
7) make beer (boil, hops, adjunsts, etc.)
So I get this and it seems simple to grasp and a good place to start for me.
My questions are
1)I see the two cooler setups offered, what is the second cooler for and where does it fit in?
2) When you are mashing at 158 how do you adjust the temp if its in a cooler and you need to raise the temp either to keep it in the mash in range and then to do mash out at 170ish, how do you raise the temp if its not on a burner?
I think thats all for now. Thanks
