I’ve recently wanted to start recirculating my wort. With everything I do, I always look for ways to keep the cost down. With that in mind I came up with an idea that would allow me to recirculate wort for cheap with supplies I already have. I’m curious if anyone has ever tried this.
My wife recently purchased a sous vide cooker. If nobody knows what that is, it’s basically a wand that you put in water which keeps a pot of water at a constant preset temp (let’s say 154 degrees).
What if I heat a pot of water using the sous vide wand to 154 degrees. I purchase a small pump and some tubing. Hook the tubing up to my Home Depot mash tun, then to a pump then wind some tubing up into the 154 degree water, then out to the top of the mash tun.
Has anyone tried this? Seems like it could be a cheap way to use material I have to keep my mash at a constant temp.
