| Jun 15, 2020 at 18:18 | comment | added | HomeBrew | I'm contemplating filling the cooler up the night before and the putting a 1500W bucket heater in to bring it up to temp in the morning so I can heat strike water in the kettle at the same time the sparge is heating. I didn't know about the sous vide heater and really like the thermostat on it! I might go that route instead if the math (800 watts) works out. | |

I'm probably just over thinking the whole thing but everyone seems to use the round igloos/rubbermaids. I'm just looking for a less expensive alternative. | |

Some people think it means just holding the hot water for a sparge and others use it to mean the Mash Tun. brewersfriend.com/2011/02/13/… Which are you doing? Mashing or just holding water? | |
