Hi, kids! I recently picked up an Ss 20 gallon mash tun, and I can't get that rascal to hold temperature without resorting to HERMS... Anyone have any tips??

When you say SS mash tun, do you mean just a stainless kettle or the SS Brewtech insulated mash tun?Hi, kids! I recently picked up an Ss 20 gallon mash tun, and I can't get that rascal to hold temperature without resorting to HERMS... Anyone have any tips??W
Hi. The problem is that the vessel is insulated, so i can't apply heat. I'm aware of starch conversion principles; I was curios whether anyone else had this issue, or if there's just too much headroom. I have a work around solution, but it's cumbersome...Hold temperature for what purpose for how long?
If you intend on maintaining the exact same temperature over a long period you need to have the mash tun in an environment that is heated to that temperature. If you want to maintain the temperature within a narrow range for one hour, insulation is the answer. If you want to maintain the temperature for the duration of the conversion of starches to sugars, you need to know how long that takes. Do you know that or are you just using the "one hour long mash period" as your basis?
