      What happened is that I performed the mash at a too high temperature for half of it. I used a digital thermometer but due to placement and lack of stirring, I think it may have been 10 degrees higher than required for anywhere between 5-35mins.

      Hi everyone
      
      I'm looking to get into BIAB brewing, and I don't have much cash to throw around.
      I was looking at a crown urn for $270, but I came across a clip on youtube from brewerswarehouse.com.au where they used a polypropylene fermenter with a heater element. They sell this as a kit for $115. I rang them and the very helpful guy on the phone told me he had been using his setup for 3.5years with no fault and had done many batches in it.
      
      Do other people use polypropylene buckets as kettles...
