In the middle of my first AG batch. Calculated temps using beer smith and added 165F water to my 74F grain bed. It's been sitting for about 30 min now and I just took another temp and it's at 166!!! My target was 154F, which I hit perfectly after adding the water and stirring well for a few minutes, however it seems to have gotten hotter. The coolers sitting out on my deck and it's about 80F out today, is this normal for it to get hotter like this as it sits?
Should I open the lid and let it cool to 154, close the lid, and then start the 60 min timer again, or should I just leave it and see what happens?
Note that I am batch sparging in the rectangle cooler with the braided steel hose.
