Title pretty much says it all, I'm looking at doing a step mash with one of those bench top convection ovens.
I did a search on here but most hit was for people using these ovens for toasting malts. Which after this last bout of reading I'm definitely going to give a go aswell.
I already mash in 1 vessel and lauter in another so I don't see this being a massive change.. The biggest problem I can see, is that I think temperature monitoring may be difficult. But it will be a matter of lid off check temp lid on.
I'm not too worried about efficiency as last brew I hit 88% (crush is fine & lauter thought Swiss voile)
However, for those which use a mill the convection oven uses a swirling type motions to evenly spread the heat so I'm thinking that this may assist efficiency.
I'm just hoping its big enough for my grain bill
Average 2 - 2.3 kg
Mash in water 6 - 7 Ltrs
