Hi everyone,
Getting long chunks of time for brewing is becoming more of a challenge every day. Yesterday I tried something new and couldn't find much info on potential wort impact. In the morning I performed my mash as usual, sparged and collected everything into BK. But didn't have time to boil and transfer. So I set my system to hold 170 F in the BK, sealed the lid on (with a vent of course) and left. I came back 5 hours later, cranked up the BK and finished the brew. Everything seemed to be fine, just wonder if there is any negative impact to the wort characteristics with this method....sure makes my brew schedule easier. Thanks.
