I am curious if letting the mash sit overnight to convert split your brew day up enough to make it worth while.

    I don’t think the 80c is meant to sanitize in anyway, rather convert the starches to sugars.

    It didn’t kill the lactobacillus because my mash was covered in it by the time i got back to it.

    it didn’t impact the flavor of the end product but damn was that gross to clean up.

      No, I’m sure it’s not but it can kill some germs.

      NGL, my washes end up in a still so I’m not worried about secondary colonies as long as they don’t stop the yeast from winning. It just means unique flavors.
