Mash
- Starting just over 7 gal.
- New burner is great! heated water fast, despite outside temp of 35°
- Strike water to 160°. Added grains, stirred to 154° (target 153°). Pot is inside, blanket wrap
- Temp at 60min: 152°. Thats pretty good.
- Pre boil gravity 1.043. Had to dilute a couple quarts. Need to start with more water.
Boil

- Under sink faucet works well.
