My 5 gallon brew equipment currently includes an 8 gallon kettle, a mash tun with false bottom converted from a Home Depot 10 Gallon cooler. In both cases, I've seen the pre-installed settings for a 5 gallon batch size only use a 5 gallon cooler. I add the grain into the water that is already in the MLTīased on the proposed/new way do I have to worry about the grain temp at all when adding it to the pre-heated tun/strike water? The goal is to just have a simpler and repeatable brew day without measuring grain and tun temps. I just bought BeerSmith after already having the iOS version for some time now. You wont disturb the bottom filter layer of the mash. Slide the paddle to the bottom then raise it back up 4' then stir. I transfer the required amount of water over to the MLT and then recirc through it while direct heating to bring up to desired mash in water temp from previous step If you have a gym membership you should be able to work up your endurance to stirring your mash every 10-15 minutes. If your mash has dropped in temp has dropped 3f you need about 20 more 200f water. The InfuSsion provided that simplicity of function, while still being technologically advanced. Based on 151f -> 168F, the calculation is ( (168-151) ( (0.412)+18))/ (200-168) which comes out to 12.1 quarts of 200f water. I wanted a mash tun that’s only job was mashing. I think you can find the formula in how to brew. Uncheck 'Adjust temp for equip' and then follow the brew steps with the mash in water temp This is based on the thermodynamics of the mash mass. I make sure 'Adjust temp for equip' is checked and then follow the brew steps with the adjusted mash in waterĭon't take grain temp or mash tun temp Check the block 'Adjust Temp for Equipment' in your recipes Mash Profile if not already checked. Make sure your equipment profile is set correctly. I would start with using the recommended 0.30 for the heat capacity of the plastic. Adjust the 'Grain/Tun Temperature' in the Mash Profile to be 45 F (or whatever your mash tun and grain start at). My current/old way is:Įdit the mash profile for the recipe and enter the grain temp and tun temp in the fields and click 'OK' The short answer is yes it makes a big difference. ![]() I now have direct fire capability under my mash tun so I want to make my process simpler. Ergo, you should probably leave out the extra stuff, since the valves and what-not arent going to help with the heat retention. I don’t do that, I’ll Mash In get all the water and put the Mash out water in and mix up. Whenever I select it, it always has Fly Sparging step in there. ![]() I’ve only done the single mash in at 150ish and the mash out at 168ish. This is entirely dependent on the materials of your mash tun, of course. I have a 10 Gal plastic (Home Depot) cooler that I use for my Mash Tun. If your mash tun weighs more, then it has more insulation. Reviving this old thread because I just want to double-clarify what should and shouldn't be checked. I believe Beersmith asks for mash tun weight so it can do some calculations on heat loss.
