I mash in a 7 gal. round rubbermaid, which has worked really well for about 40 batches. I remember when I got it set up originally I was finding it would hold the mash temp within a degree over an hour. In the last few batches I have been seeing really low numbers by the end of the hour. I try to make sure the temperature is stable before I seal it up, but I seem to be losing 4 or 5 degrees over the course of an hour. So I was wondering, do these things lose their insulating capacity over time and wear?
Is anyone else having problems like this? If so what are you doing about it?
