Striked this mash at 75C. Went to check temperature several times and noticed the water level had dropped and there wasn’t water covering the top of the grains. Filled it up with 70C water each time, but struggled to keep the water up top. I think i had too many grains in the new masher because there was a point where if i filled it anymore i couldn’t put the lid on. I don’t think i can put anymore than 12lbs of grain in the coolers. I’ll need to experiment to find out. I will probably brew again this Sunday.
Sparged at 70C. I think i ended up with a bit more water than i wanted. I thought i would have boiled off more. Ended up with a 6gal batch instead of a 5gal.
