I just bought a cheap $20 48 qt coleman rectangular cooler to hopefully use for mashing and I decided to do a little test for temperature retention...
So I grabbed a thermocouple meter from work, warmed some water to around 160*F and dumped it in the cooler... First measurements in the cooler was 156.9*F, and after an hour it was 145.2*F..
Is 12*F too much of a drop for mashing? I haven't done any AG yet, and am in the gathering equipment phase...
