I sew up bags for people here in North America. I had a question given to me regarding biab and using heating elements. I use gas, so I don't have direct experience with it, so I am hoping for some help.
I'm planning on using a 5500w ultra low density element to recirc/heat the mash..I've read that these bags can lay on the element without harm. I just wanted to run that by you for sure.
I raise the bag off the bottom of my pot when I apply heat with my propane burner. I assume you would have to do the same with a heating element, but then I've boiled eggs in paper cups on campfires -- the intense heat of the embers is dissipated by the water and the paper in contact with water does not burn. I wonder if the same principal applies here.
If you want to apply heat while the bag is in the urn, do you lift the bag? Cover the element so they don't come in contact?
Thanks for any info you can share.
