How long does it take to move and setup our kit again?

Ah but that's have the fun lol

Lads...Graincoat is it worth it?

[DEMPSEY]

Have not seen the need for it. My boil is achieved well and if you had a jacket the boil off rate would increase I would say. That said I have not bothered to read up on it to see if anything else on it is an advantage

Yes definitely. It cuts off quite a bit of time getting to the boil. If you're planning to brew outside it can help if it gets a bit windy

I would say it's worth it in that I spent about €20 and an hour making my own attempt out of the shiny insulation stuff. If you buy the grain jacket you save yourself that hour, you can take it off when you want and it won't look shit like mine.

You definitely some insulation for outdoor brewing 6 months a year

I brewed on Saturday and getting to the boil took very long for some reason, if it can help with that then i'll be very happy!

I was considering some sort of a water heater immersion to get temps up quicker...not sure how safe it is though

Heat stick or bucket heater is probably what your looking for there.
Plenty of info but as you said I'd question how safe some of them are.

I'd say it takes me 20-25 minutes to get from 76° to boiling. I'm sparging during the start of that. How long was it taking you?

It definitely took longer before I insulated it.

Would that scorch the wort?

[Acott]

It mush of been 30 - 40 minutes to get up to the boil, which was killer as it really slows down the brew day!
I have been mucking about with sparge temps as well so that probably didn't help

Hmm it's possible, the heat stick look to be around €25, but if it could save me 30 minutes that would be brilliant!

I'd start with a jacket those heat sticks are dangerous.

[nigel_c]

No earth on most of the ones I've seen. 

Insulation would be my first stop.

[Archsnapper]

I bought one of those jackets. Weird, I had to return it - it didn't fit! ( It wouldn't wrap around.) Just about to make one out of a camping mat.
