Hi all,
I'm probably going to order a column with 3-4 plates from Still dragon.
Planning to heat the pot/ kettle directly with an electrical element. I'm going to go for a low watt density element. I have the option of a stainless covered element.
The pot is around 207 litres (55 gallons) stainless steel.
I will mash and lauter in another vessel to make a clear wash.
Does anyone foresee any difficulty with heating directly in terms of scorching or smearing? A lot of people swear by agitation to avoid smearing.
If agitation is vital could anyone recommend a supplier of an agitator that I can install on the kettle? I can power it pneumatically or electrically.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
