I had a problem hitting my mash temperature this weekend. Hopefully, someone can help me with this.
I have a Rubbermaid 70qt extreme cooler.
I have a good, calibrated thermometer.
Goal mash temperature 152F.
13 pounds of grain.
I measured my grain and tun temperature. They were 72 degrees (perfect day for brewing).
I set my specific heat to 0.300, as recommended for plastic.
I preheated my water to the recommended temperature by BeerSmith (about 167 degrees).
After mixing (and trying to get the temperature the same in all places of the mash tun), my temperature was 160.
Is there an easy way I can test my mash tun to figure out it's specific heat?
