Somebody gave me a stack of 10 years of BYO magazine. I found a piece in one where somebody did their mash by putting the pot in the oven set at 150 and letting is "mash" all night. He got up in the morning and sparged. Has anyone tried this?
Alot can happen overnight while your sleeping.....
I mean, it should work.
As far as this overnight business, if you know that your wort is converted after 1 hour then further mashing won't get anything more out of it. Yes, the enzymes are still active but they act on starch not sugar. It seems the point of overnight is the obvious one -- it shortens your brew day tomorrow as you start with the sparge step.
Woke up in a wet patch, huh?
