Infusion

The infusion is the addition of a volume of water to the mash. Typically an infusion is used to raise the mash temperature. Infusions have an advantage in that they raise the temperature of the mash quickly, and can be used when mashing in vessels that cannot be heated directly such as picnic coolers.
