Hey brewers,
I recently put down a sorghum grain/barley whisky, and as I was heating up my strike water, I got to thinking, "I wonder if my Anova would make this easier for me??" So I loaded up the mash tun (Esky) with strike water, added the grains and screwed on the sous vide, and set the temp.
The result was amazing. I had a high percent of unmalted grains (50%) so I went for a long 3 hour mash. I have my Anova synced up with my phone, so I could drop the temperature after the first rest without having to get up off the couch. No malt stuck to the element, and the pump was sufficient at pushing the grain around.
I wish I tried this sooner. Perfect conversion with consistent temperature.
