has anyone tried this.
I have it on the go right now but I'm not sure how well it will work.
I put my pressure cooker on high with 2 Litres of water and brought it up to about 65 dec C (154F)
I milled about 470 grams (just over 1 Lb) of grain, and put it in a hop sock and dropped that into the slow cooker (still on high) and brought it up to mash temp of 64 deg C, stirring the grain inside the bag to get the temperature consistent throughout, and then lowered the slow cooker to the "keep warm" setting where I plan to monitor it and keep it for 45 minutes for conversion.
Then I can pull the hop sock out and turn it back up to high to boil briefly to sterilize the wort. Chill, pitch harvested yeast, put into a cider jug with a wand on an aquarium pump. The bubbles will stir and aerate.
1 1/2 days until brew day
Does this sound like it will work?
