Not beer related but I wanted to make sure you guys in the electric forum saw this:
My wife makes soap. Lots of it. I am trying to help her streamline her process.
The first step is to come up with a way to heat her oil mixture in bulk instead of a batch at a time like she is currently doing.
I am envisioning an HLT like contraption with an ULWD immersion element, bottom drain ball valve, stir pump, thermowell and controller. The size would be at least 10gal and maybe a sanke keg. The oil only needs to be heated to around 125F.
I'm just wondering if any of the components we use for water in an HLT would not work for heating oil instead.
I appreciate any advice or suggestions for components.
