I've been reading some threads on here (and other places) regarding propane vs natural gas vs electric brewing, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on using propane and electric together.
I've been doing electric brewing for almost a year with a 1600W induction burner and a 10-gal. Bayou Classic pot, and believe it or not, it does pretty well. But it takes for.e.ver.
I don't want to do any re-wiring at this point, so that's about as good as it gets for electric, but I just bought a Bayou Classic SP10 burner off amazon, and I plan to try it out this weekend now that the weather is more cooperative.
I know propane will be used up pretty fast, so I was wondering if anyone uses any kind of combination heating with a gas burner and an electric burner?
I brew BIAB, so I was thinking about heating part of the water to strike temp on one heater, and part of the water on the other heater, and/or heating part of the water from mash to boil temp on one heater, and the other part of the water from mash to boil temp on the other heater, for example. My kitchen and my porch are adjacent, so logistically I'd be okay there.
Just looking for any other ideas people may have tried.
Thanks as always.
