Brewing my last of the summer beers for the SHMBO today. A american wheat with sweet & bitter orange. Mash is heating, so far so good.

Just 5 minutes into the mash on a Irish Red over here.

mash sitting at exactly 155, should hold for an hour. Mashed in at 172 and had to add a .5 gal water to drop it a little. (Metallica playing in the background)

Just checked my sparge water temp in the cooler, 169.5 and still have 19 mins left in the mash. Should end up right at 168.
