Hello all:
I've been using BeerSmith 2 for my AG brewing. I've noticed that I am frequently low on the temperatures after adding water at the temps and amounts specified by the software. For example, my mash-in this morning fell 3 degrees short. Mash-out temps also tend to fall short. I keep having to add more, hotter water to hit my target temps.
I've checked temps with 2 different thermometers that I know to read relatively true. They agree on my temps.
I'm a slightly modified equipment profile, but have left all the defaults for 10 gal round igloo coolers that I use as mash and lauter tuns. I have checked the box to adjust to equipment and grain temps and enter my ambient temperature in the brewhouse/garage.
Am I missing something? Any suggestions on what to adjust?
