I, like many, use a 10 gallon Rubbermaid cooler as a mash tun. I've found that the strike water temps generated by BeerSmith are always too high.

I've googled and searched this forum and cannot find a simple answer to this question:
What is the proper Mash Tun Specific Heat to enter in BeerSmith 2.0 for a 10 Gal cooler?
