Conflict is between a recipe and Mash Adjust tool...
New mash tun (insulated stainless) and wanted to get the specific heat dialed in.
Let it acclimate to ambient temps (78*F) overnight and pumped 5.5gallons of (172.5*F) water in.
Water was pumped through a preheated chugger pump and 10' of 1/2" silicone hoses. Took 90 seconds.
Preheated pump and hoses by recirculating strike water while heating.
10 minutes later, temperature stabilized at 166*F and then began to lose temp (3*F over 2 hours).
I created a new recipe with 0.0000000001 lbs of grain and nothing else.
That value ends up being 0.1811 cal/gram-deg C.
Now I try the Mash Adjust tool.
Set the same values as above along with 0.0000000001 gallons of starting water volume.
Specific Heat value ends up being 0.1186 cal/gram-deg C.
Adding 10 lbs of grain to the equation still has conflicting results.
Adding 1 gallon of water to an initial step still has conflicting results.
I'm inclined to trust the Mash Adjust tool because it aligns with the suggested value for stainless (0.12 cal/gram-deg C).
But I need the recipe calculator to perform, as that is what I use, not the Mash Adjust Tool.
Am I missing something? Or is there another value factoring into one calculation and not the other?
Mash Tun Additions and Tun Deadspace are set to zero.
Thanks in advance.

- mash tun weight set to 28.6 lbs
- mash tun & grain temp set to 78*F
- step temp set to 166*F
- strike water set to 5.5 gallons (22qts)
That value ends up being 0.1811 cal/gram-deg C.
