Seems like you could add water to the iron powder to get the exothermic rust reaction as well, if you don't need higher temperatures.

Boiling the wort. Cooling the wort, then pitching in yeast. Then storing for a while while it ferments. Heating the wort and mash could be done electrically, but generally (especially at brewery scale) is combustion.
