I'm doing research now to plan a BIAB brew. My issue is I boil outside in a large bayou 16 gallon kettle on a propane burner. I have no issue doing full volume or bringing to a boil.
My concern is outside air temps will be in the 40's. If my target is 155 I can bring it up to 170, then insulate it with reflectix wrap and bring it into the garage where it will be upper 50's. I still think it will be hard though to maintain 155.
I was wondering if anyone has ever used an electric griddle? I can get a 1500 watt large electric griddle and could plug it in the garage, set my kettle on that. While it certainly will not heat up my kettle, I think it may help alleviate some heat loss.
Thoughts?
