I'm doing my first all grain. I calculated the strike water to be 168 so I would get a mash temp of 152 with 8.5 pounds of 65 degree grains.
I pre-heated my igloo, and it worked too well. The mash settled at 165 for 3-5 minutes. I checked it and added cold water to bring it down to 154.
Did I kill off (de-nature) any enzymes? You think it will still work? Is noon too early to RDW and HAHB?
Also, do you find that your temp in the cooler goes up when you shut the lid?
Thanks
