I do BIAB brewing and have been wondering should I look into a recirculating mash? I have a stainless steel colander that I keep thinking will have some use in my brewery. I had the idea of drilling a hole in the center of my kettle's lid and attaching the colander to the lid with some SS all thread. Then cut a hole to the side of the lid handle and install a elbow/male cam lock for attaching tubing for recirculating/vorlaufing. The wort will be recirculating through the colander and back into the kettle. I think this may also come in handy for fly sparging if I ever jump to a 3 vessel setup, or am I wrong?
Will mounting a SS colander under my kettle lid have any benefit? Every time I look at the colander, I feel it has some a use I'm overlooking.
