Just bought a 10 gallon cooler to mash with and was wondering the expected temp drop when I add my grains?? I am on my phone so could not find the thread for it. Thanks

In my igloo 10 gallon cooler ill heat my strike water to 10 degrees more than my mash temp. That way I don't preheat I just toss in then dough in my grains I hit my mash temp dead on.
Sonia there some math to this? Lbs of grain to loss of degrees???
wilserbrewer said:This sounds reasonable...I would add the strike water at least 160...148 is a rather low mash temp which is fine, but you are at the lower limit with not much room to fail low....keep some boiling water on hand if you need to raise it some...148 is the lower threshold so be sure to make at least that....a few degrees higher is better than lower in this case IMHO.
