So after a break from brewing for 18 months or so, I'm feeling the call of a project to keep me busy, I've done a couple infusion mash APAs with good results but I want to get some better temp control happening.
I am planning on using my existing 30lt esky mash tun gravity fed into a 50lt keg for extra sparge water capacity, the recirculating with a keg King pump through a low density 3600w rims tube, controlled by a sestos pid and a pt-100 probe.
I made my wife a temp controlled fabric dying keg that isn't being used anymore so that's where the donor parts are coming from.
The mash tun has a stainless steel mesh over a copper manifold as the false bottom.. I get a decent flow rate out of it,
My concern is wether it's ok for the sparge water to come through the top keg inlet and essentially splash into the keg before it gets pumped around?
I also plan to use the keg as my kettle after the mash, using a gas torch under as a heat source.
