I did and checked it on two scales both times.. it came out the relatively same with an exception of 1oz .. the milled grain is lighter and fluffy feeling .. my only thought because it's not as compact as unmilled grain

Today I did some testing and insulated the hoses with pipe foam wrap and calibrated the PID's and stats to within 1 degree ..hard to do when the control temp fluctuates but very close ... I did notice a closer temp difference once I ran the herms system ... I'm going to brew a batch tomorrow...

I pitched it yesterday evening

I actually boiled some grains made a small batch and pitched yeast at 68f let it sit over night then pitched to my wort .. thought I would try a different method as I've read different ways to make yeast starters ..I was skeptical at making a yeast starter with dry yeast .. but it did take off...

I made a yeast starter with us-05 let is sit for a day then refrigerated for a day till I was ready for it ... I tossed the old dme out that was on top and washed with fresh wort cooled to 64 degree and pitched to my wort ..doesn't seem that anything is happening .. not sure if I screwed this...
