I want to give BIAB a shot but my biggest concern is maintaining mash temp. A lot of you use insulated coolers, but I'm hoping to be able to mash in my 11 gal brew kettle which is made of thin stainless steel, just to keep down equipment costs. I plan to wrap it up with insulation, but do any of you use a heat source to maintain the temp?
A hot plate or an immersion heater on an STC-1000 controller may work really well. The hot plate would be the easiest way. I have a turkey fryer to do the boiling but I think it would be too difficult to use it for maintaining a precise temp/
