I am doing my first yeast starter this weekend. I need to increase my start count to compensate for a 1.08 OG. Would it be detrimental to the yeast if I maintained my temperature and aeration with an immersion circulator?

Are you suggesting a sous vide like Annova? (Or the Inkbird model)? These are "portable" sous vides. (I have one).
I think the fan is fairly gentle as it creates a small circulation.
I would worry about the heat as mentioned above, but more so- i see cleaning and getting it truly sanitized as a bigger concern. At least a flask and stir bar are fairly easy to clean.
My 0.02.
Although technically still sous vide, this guy used the method for a micro mash:Also, do people use those for other than sous vide applications?
Yup, keeping good sanitation would be a concern. That's why a magnetically coupled stir bar solves that problem.Primarily meaning, can you clean them?
