Mashing, Lautering and Wort Brewing in the same vessel?

[Midnight_Marauder]

Hi all!

I am just starting to get into home brewing, so please forgive me if some of my questions are no-brainers for experienced eyes

My plan for now is the following:

I have an electrical preserver http://translate.google.at/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.klarstein.com/Kuechengeraete/Kuechenhelfer/Biggie-Einkochautomat-Edelstahl-27-Liter-2000W-Timer.html&prev=search

for mashing with a filter at the bottom for lautering.

So far so good.

My question is, whether you guys think it is possible to lauter the mash into a pot, clean the preserver and transfer the mash back into the preserver for wort brewing?

That way, I will not need a separate pot for brewing the wort.

Are there any obvious disadvantages to this method?

Thank you all for your help!

You can line it with a strainer bag and accomplish your goal. What you want to do is called BIAB ( brew in a bag ) and is pretty common

I wish they sold those pots in the US! Thats a pretty sweet electric kettle. Get brewbags and follow BIAB procedure, you will have a very easy time brewing!
