Title: Heat Sticks
Post by: rAdve on February 09, 2014, 05:29:14 PM
Hi all,

I have small BIAB-system and I use my stove to brew. Problem is that heating water/wort takes ages and I am wondering if  I should get a heat stick to help with the brew and speed up my process.

I searched heat sticks in Ebay and found 2 interesting ones. Do you think these could be suitable for my needs or did I just start planning my funerals?

Thanks for the input.

I'm using one of em for my smaller batches as an accelerator on the kitchen stove as well.
Works great.
