SV Too Long?

Options
So can you SV too long?  I'm not talking like stupid too long. 

If I put a Tri tip in at 7 tomorrow morning for 130, would I be. Ale to SV it all the way until it's time to sear it to eat at about 6ish?
Just bought an Egg?  Here is what you get to look forward to now:

Plate Setter, FlameBoss 200, Spider, PSWOO-CI, Additional Rig Shelf for dome cooking, Thermapen, iGrill2, Cast Iron, Blackstone, Cooking Accessories for the Blackstone, Cover for the Egg and the Blackstone, shopping for Rub like a fine wine or IPA, and a new fascination with lump and what brand is the best-all to be debated every Friday Night.  Next desires-Joetisceriie, Adjustable Rig, Grillmates, table and more eggs

    Too long for tri tip, not long enough for chuck roast. Time and temps depend on the cut.

    If you have to SV that long, start off frozen solid.  It buys you another hour or so.

    Ok. Thanks. Just not the time to try then. Everything I read says 6 hours for Tri tip. Is that right?

    i am cooking two tomorrow and want to do a comparison but have to either start SV at 7 am or 230.  Doesn't sound like either time will work.

    I have really been struggling with the above. I'm new to SV and have discovered that what you know about cooking Q in general does not directly transfer over to SV. 
    As an example, and I say this in all seriousness, I thought I would trial run the SV with some hog and goat anus as they are free of charge. With that said, I prefer anus between 155-160 internal. Anything lower and the the anus is gummy and mushy. Anything higher
    and the anus is snappy and stringy.  
    Thus far, all my attempts at SV anus has been stringy. I'm taking a guess that i need to shorten the cooking time with the SV.

    You can extend times by lowing temps, but 130F is min temp for over 4 hours.

    Stuff can get mushy.  At the extreme, you can mix up the meat with a fork and drink it with a straw.  Great if you have a jaw wired shut.  Or use a blender.

    Myself as well brother Ozzie. I have always deep fried Anus as well. All my SV Anus has been finished by deep frying. But I have yet to achieve the desired end result.

    Thermoworks sells sealing tape and a waterproof probe that can be inserted through a vacuum sealed bag.  You could monitor for how long to reach your desired IT then hold for the minimum pasteurization time.

    This sort of scenario is the one thing where having a sous vide unit with WiFi capability would actually be useful.

    Plopping the meat in the tub with a mix of ice/water to keep it near frozen when you leave for work and then being able to turn on the heat from your office a few hours before you get home is a useful capability.

    This is exactly what I was thinking... Asked the wife for the Anova WiFi unit, so I could do just this.

    I've posted this link before but here it is again for anyone that never saw it: http://www.amazingfoodmadeeasy.com/info/modernist-cooking-blog/more/experiments-to-determine-how-long-will-a-sous-vide-ice-bath-keep-food-safe

    When I use my immersion circulators I usually use a cheap 20qt cooler rather than just a pot or plastic Cambro type of vessel. If you want to do the "time-delay" sous vide thing I would definitely use a cooler and the article agrees. A cooler will make it easier to keep things cold and with smaller quantities of ice.

    John, on a very serious note, it's a delicacy. Anus is used by many places (myself included) to make mock or imitation calimary.
