I will just add my 2c worth. There is no need to stop the BM and stir the mash, this kind of defeats the purpose of the unit IMO.Another this I did with my last brew was add the pipe and grain as soon as the water goes in. As the water heats up plenty fast it does a couple of things. 1st, it give the grain time to swell and fully absorb the water prior to doing its thing, and 2nd while being heated from tap temp to your first step temp would be activating other enzymes for a short time, that (IMO) do not have a detrimantal effect on the overall beer. Either way the BM heats up fast enough that the mash really does not have time at any one temp along the way to change the profile greatly but it does appear to grab a couple of extra points.Also, I agree 100% with what mikk said. But I love being able to do multi step Lagers nows as I never had the mash volume to do it with the 3v system. But yes, Ales, a single step is fine, I just make it 75mins at least at 67 deg C.Steve
