3.Steam Injection: Steam injection involves injecting steam into the kettle or mash tun to heat the liquid. This method provides precise temperature control and allows for rapid heating, but it requires specialized equipment and may be more expensive to operate.

4.Indirect Heating: Indirect heating involves using a heat exchanger to transfer heat to the kettle or mash tun. This method is efficient and provides precise temperature control, but it requires additional equipment and may be more expensive to operate.
