I've looked into building something like that. Even collected the parts. When I did a trial run just holding the bag over the kettle when heating mash water I found that I couldn't get the bottom of the bag to sink into the wort even when I put a couple little stainless steel doo-dads into it. Is that ever an issue for folks who do this?I wonder if my kettle geometry is too blame. I use a 20G "stock pot", so that when I do a 5G batch the wort only fills up a little over 1/4 of the kettle volume, so that's a long way for the bag to hang down.what i use
