I'm going to be moving my brewing operation outdoors, partly to keep spouse happy (she dislikes the smell) and partly because I'm going to use a propane burner. My plan is to do BIAB (5 1/2 gallons before boil) and wrap the pot with insulation while mashing. Will the mash stay at ~152 for the 60 to 70 minutes when the outdoor temperature is in the 40's? How about when outdoor temp is in the 20's? I could probably haul the pot indoors during the mash.
The insulation that I am using has plastic that would be in danger of melting if I add heat with the propane burner.
Any suggestions?
