What saison strain did you use and what was your mash temp?


I used Wyeast 3711 and mashed at 149-150, a couple of degrees higher than I wanted to but it was the first batch on the new rig.

This is a dumb question, but where is the heat source? Is it inside the keggle?


It's an Ultra Low Watt Density water heating element, like you'd find in a home water heater. I have one in the boil pot and one in the HLT.

Yeah, I may end up doing that. Thanks.

What's your all in cost on something like that?

I've never known 3711 not to go down lower. I'd just ride it out. That strain does pretty good work in the low 70s.
