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.
