What strike temp would i need for a BIAB brew mashing at 65c
wilserbrewer said:Not sure about "c"...but last weekend I struck at 160 and my resultant mash was 153-154, and lost a 2-3 degrees during the rest. W/ BIAB, I like to start the mash a few degrees high in anticipation of losing a little during the rest.
The above calculator is interesting, I'm guessing one should input 0 for thermal loss of vessel for BIAB, as the vessel is already preheated...at least that's what my field data and experience indicates.
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times.
BeerSmith II - $23.00 at Birdman Brewing.
The program does about 35 brewing calculations automatically, including strike temp!
GET IT!
I love beer smith, dont get me wrong, but I have found that it does not work well for BIAB strike temps. Not sure why but every time I follow the strike temp when I BIAB it end up mashing atleast 4 degree above my target. So I just started striking at my desired mash temp and adjusting with a little heat if necessary.

Do you find that you dont need to add any more heat during the mash? Do u cover your pot up with towels etc?
When you use the strike temp calculation in BeerSmith, do you measure and enter the temperature of your grain into BeerSmith?
