...calculating the decrease in water temp by adding grain? I know BeerSmith will do all of the calculating for us, but I want to know the math behind it. For example, if you know where your strike water will stabilize itself and your equipment when it's in the mash tun, what is the math that will calculate the additional temperature drop by adding the grain? Something along the lines of "X amount of water at Y temp in a 10 lb mash tun with specific heat of 0.30 will be reduced to Z degrees by adding A lbs of grain."
