Hey Guys. I'm currently brewing BIAB beers using a 40L crown urn. I've just got my hands on a 26L rubbermaid cooler and my ultimate goal now is to use the urn to heat up my strike water, mash in the cooler, sparge from the urn and then boil in the urn. Confused yet?
What I am thinking is having a two-tier setup with the mash tun above the urn. I have a little brown pump which I plan to use to pump the strike/sparge water to the mash tun. I guess one of the things I'm concerned about it knowing when to stop recirculating the mash? Are there any other problems with brewing this way? I was considering swapping the two tiers around and pumping from the mash tun but I was concerned about keeping the pump primed and getting a stuck mash.
