Mulled Wine Warmer For Homebrew

[baileybobs]

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anybody knows wether a mulled wine warmer can be used as a homebrew boiler, it’s going to be used in a biab set up. Cheers

You post a link to it? That image is a bit too small to see any detail. If it is just designed to warm wine (a concept I have never understood) I wonder if is powerful enough to boil wort. What volume is it and what volume will you be brewing?

it’s 27 litres and does get up to 100 degrees but I’m not sure if it cuts off once it gets to a boil like a tea urn does

I was in Lidl last night and they have a similar thing for about £60 but not sure of the spec cos I didn't have my reading glasses with me. It was huge and packaged as a jam boiler I think. I've heard it mentioned elsewhere for all grain brewing so could be worth having a look...

That’s a great price I’ll have a look I’m sure if it boils Jam it should keep a boil for beer
