I'm relatively new at brewing so I apologize for the simple question but having a terrible time getting my mash temp proper. Beersmith is telling me to "Add 8.00 gal at 172.3 F" to mash at 156F. I've heated up the water in the mash tun with 8 gallons to 172.3F and it ends up 164F after grains mashed in. Also have tried heating the HLT to 172.3 and transfering it to the Mash Tun then adding grains and it ends up 148F. Am I missing something in Beersmith or not understanding the strike water/mashing procedure?
I'm using a 3 Keggle propane heated system with 2 chugger pumps. Mash tun is insulated with no burner.
