reading one of jayse's recent posts
he talked about not sparging his mash, but having enough mash liquor in the tun for the boil to start with, im assuming he heated up the mash before draniing to the boiler.
now i dont have any way of incresing the temp of my mash as i do it in an esky,
but i do have a 'bruheat' boiler grain bag, this bag is designed to fit inside a bruheat boiler.
i was wondering if i ground my grains and placed them in this bag and sat in my converted keg boiler over gas to bring to my mash temp, leave, then increase temp and remove the bag, increase temp further to boiling point and add hops.
would this work as efficiently as a normal mash tun?
i think it might save a little time in the brewing process and in the cleaning afterward.
also this would be the easiest way i could do a stepped mash.
thanks for all advice in advance
