Thinking about my next BIAB, i now fill my urn the night before and have a timer to turn it on around 7am so it's at mash temp when i drop the grain in.
Is there any reason why i couldn't drop the grain in the night before and set the temp below mash point, say 45-50*c so it is warm and then raise to mash point when i am ready.

Does this increase efficiency as the grain is already wet and swollen?
Would it have a negative taste effect?
Am i just lazy and it's a waste of time?
