Yes it would...and keep heat gain in check. Simpler, preheat the water to raise the initial conductivity of the water to shorten run time. Use the heater to keep conductivity up for the first half or 3/4 of the expected time, then switch it off for the remainder and use thermal downdraft stirring. Testing conductivity rise with added heat shows about +1 uS per 10 degrees.
This could be used to a great advantage at the start right when Brownian particle collisions are the least likely and reduce agglomeration from energetic particle collision right when it's most likely. If there is some sort of other energy such as microwave or radio tower transmissions adding to the Brownian sort that's making particles collide harder at lower temperatures [so to speak]...doing that could make the difference. However, I believe you mentioned that you get the same problem with the mechanical stir setup? Humm.. run a batch inside a cooler with some ice in it? [Maybe even a grounded metal clad cooler to make a sort of Faraday cage?] Remember the old insulated milk boxes back in the days of the milk man?
