What pump did you use mate? Would this work on a concealed element Crown urn just as well?practicalfool said:Re-circulating was the easiest and most hassle eliminating step I added to my brewing. It's just a pump with a couple of hoses sticking out and eliminates the need to stir and stir and stir. I had to make polenta last night and the recipe said to stir, in one direction, for a half hour. **** my life. Worked around it. My next setup is going to be a recirculated bag with a fb/cake rack to hold the bag up.
Yes.AJ80 said:Similar question - can you use an OTS element to step mash/mash out in an esky mash tun? Does anyone do this?
I'm in the process of pulling together a 3v system and was thinking this could be a hassle free way to step mash/mash out (as opposed to infusing with extra water - just add the element and stir til hit desired temp). Seems like it would be possible as long as I kept the element moving around so I didn't scorch the grain...

I use an OTS element in an esky mash tun to step mash - have done since I started stepping regularly.AJ80 said:Similar question - can you use an OTS element to step mash/mash out in an esky mash tun? Does anyone do this?

How long does it take you to get your temps up between rests?manticle said:I use an OTS element in an esky mash tun to step mash - have done since I started stepping regularly.
Just need to keep the element moving constantly
Should work just fine for the urn too, the way I had it was that bag or no bag, the element (in my case direct gas fire) heats the liquid between the fb and the vessel bottom and my pickup goes to the lowest point so he pump is picking up the hottest wort and circulating it back to the top. Kind of like a bastardised rims in the vessel.Econwatson said:What pump did you use mate? Would this work on a concealed element Crown urn just as well?
