Would it also work to set the HLT temp setpoint equal to the mash temperature and recirculate the wort constantly (pump selected to On) throughout the mash? Are there any negatives to doing this (other than more run-time on the pump)? Additionally, to do a step mash or mash-out, I could just adjust the HLT temp setpoint to the new value.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
I am wiring up my control panel to do either method.
