I've been in the planning stages of putting together an e-HERMS set-up for a while now. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, waiting for some money to come in first.
Anyways, I think I want to start implementing decoctions in my brewing. Lots of the styles I'm most interested in could use decoctions to help with flavor development. I'm talking about Oktoberfest/marzen, dunkels, and bocks.
Are there any electric rigs out there that are set up to handle decoctions? What would such a rig look like?
the trick is heating the decoction. restricting to electric only, the way I see it there are three options:
on the the last two - I have concerns about allowing grains to contact the heating element directly, but I'm curious to see if this is workable.
Anyone have an elegant solution to handle deccoction brewing electrically?
Thanks
