All,
I need some help. I am trying to plan out a brewhouse, and I only plan to heat water in my brew kettle. I am planning to do BIAB (2bbl system) so one of my processes will be to heat my sparge water in the kettle first, transfer it from the kettle to a storage vessel, and then heat my mash water in said kettle. Once the mash is done in the kettle, I want to pump the sparge water from the storage vessel over the grain hanging above the kettle.
I am looking for an inexpensive storage tank that will hold 180 degree water so that when I sparge it will not be cooler than 165 degrees (~70 minutes later). I do not want to buy a full-on water heater or an HLT as they are fairly pricey. I am looking for something cheap. Kind of like an insulated (or something i could wrap with insulation) stainless steel pot with a sealed lid (or maybe this kind of thing doesnt exist).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Phil
