After you have mixed your grains with the strike water and determined you are at proper mash temperature then covered everything up do you go back in and stir things during your 60 or 90 minute mash?
I do not solely because I've got an insulating system that only loses 1-2 degrees over 90 minutes and I feel that opening things up will just lose more heat and require additional flame so the stirring isn't worth it.
My question is: Does stirring help with extraction of the the sugars and increase efficiency? Am I better off just leaving things alone and keeping the heat consistent?
Thanks
