I did my 3rd all grain brew last night and missed my initial strike temp. by nearly 10 degrees. With my previous two beers I hit the temp. perfectly. The only difference this time, as far as I can tell, was the water to grain ratio. The two batches where I hit my target temp. were 1.25qts/lb. of grain while this one was 1qt/lb. of grain. All three times I filled my 48 quart cooler with hot water and let it sit for 30 minutes before beginning the mash. I also had the equipment profile configured correctly. Finally, my grain was stored inside where I always put my beer stuff so it was at room temperature. Any ideas why I was so far off?
