Can't decide which way to go with all grain wort extraction.
I could get a pump and plumb my rig for RIMS, or I could convert a BarBQue rotisserie motor to automatically stir a direct fire mash.
I've got a Blichmann false bottom in a 7.5 gal stainless stockpot.
Which way to go? pros? cons?
Flavor differences? Time savings? Both will support step-mashing (which is my ultimate goal).
If I use auto-stir Mash, I will still have to transfer the mash to the lauter tun. I will also have to pre-heat the lauter tun.
If I use RIMS, I may have other issues to deal with recirculation (pump, lines, stuck sparge).
