Let’s run two experiments.
Assumptions are; 10-gallon stainless MLT, RO water, grain is a basic US 2-row crushed with a 2-roller mill at 180 rpm and 0.040”. Strike water is in the MLT and is holding at 160°F. Crushed grain is 70°F. Room ambient is 70°F. Grain is added at the same rate for both experiments and stirred the same way for the same amount of time to achieve a uniform mash.
Exp. 1) If we add 1 pound of grain to 1.5 quarts of water, for purposes of this experiment let’s assume the resulting mash temperature will settle at 150°F.
Exp. 2) If we add 10 pounds of grain to 15 quarts of water, would the resulting mash temperature also be 150°F?
