New to all grain brewing so I bought a 10 gal Megapot 1.2 for 5 gallon batches. I started testing it, heated to 160F, and had a 10-15 degree heat loss. This was tested with water only. Does having grist in it reduce this heat loss? I hear of people (on the internet) who use this pot and the heat loss is only like 2 degrees. I even tried insulating the pot with reflectix (silver bubble) insulation and still got 6-10 degree losses. My next resort will be a blanket/sleeping bag. Just wondering if this loss was because I was only heating water, or should I expect this same result when adding grains?
