Superb quality pot.

Tested heat loss using 35l of plain old water. Raised temp to 71C...only lost 5c in fifty mins. Mash would hold temp better I'd imagine.

This was bought for my 1st trip into the world of BIAB.

Once I'm familiar with this I'll be using this pot as my HLT and buying a vacuum pot for my mash tun.

Hi Ian

Thanks for your post. The very first ! Was feeling a bit lonely here

I think you are right, the thermos pots do hold temperature very well and are tried and tested

There are some reviews here relating to this http://www.angelhomebrew.co.uk/en/stock ... s-pot.html

Also, you need to factor in an initial heat loss on a cold pot as there will be heat lost as the pot and its insulation are warmed up by taking heat from its contents

Worked a treat - held 65.6C with 5.54 Kg pale malt (trying to make a BIAB German Pilsner) for 75 mins under a duvet bungie corded onto the pot. Only slight problem was the amount of hot/cold break material and hop leaves left in the bottom of the pot due to me having bought a 12" bazooka filter. Have just ordered the Stainless Steel Hop Strainer to hopefully make life easier. Will try to whirlpool the next brew.

One tip... They can be compressed or stretched slightly to change open area
