3-Oaks Distillery Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I need some advise. Have 300 gallon mash tun. Heat water with steam boiler thru a heat exchanger. Once I put grain in tun, I can't run it thru the heat exchanger. I need a way to keep the tun at 195 degrees for 90 minutes. Any ideas would be useful.

Hudson bay distillers Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 You could try an infusion mash or pre heat your water and steam inject once grain is in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3-Oaks Distillery Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 I thought of infusion but won't work in my case. How about a heating coil that I can run thru my heat exchanger? I could put a hot water hose on it and a relief valve? any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klattig Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 We have a similar problem in a home-brewed 550g mash tun. We installed ~60' of 3/4" flexible copper tubing around the inside perimeter of the tun, and we can run hot or cool water thru it. We typically re-heat from about 175 to 190F in ~75 minutes with near-boiling water. I can't see why you couldn't run steam through it to maintain a higher temp. You must have an agitator running while heating or cooling, otherwise on the area immediately around the coils gets heated/cooled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
