So I sometimes mash overnight and brew early in the morning, it usually comes out well in that it makes some very light highly fermentable beers. When I mash overnight I usually do it for about 6 hours while I sleep and brew first thing, but some stuff came up and it wound up mashing for about 12 hours.
I set up my mash tun at about 2:30am with 14lbs of 2 row and 3lbs of flaked rice, I was planning on brewing at 9 or 10 but didn't get to brewing till about 2:00. I mashed in at 155 and by 1:00 the next day the mash was down to 140. I know this wort is going to be exceptionally fermentable and very light, so while boiling I added 8oz of maltodextrine to the 10 gallon batch to make up for what was lost.
I don't know if the beer is going to turn out to be any good, but I'm still letting it go for now. I have made some almost millerlite like beers overnight mashing before... this might turn out like a michalob ultra though...
