I've had some conflicting info lately. I fly sparge with a keggle MT setup (false bottom with dip-tube). My problem has been that I am still running into hot and cold spots at about 30-45 mins into the mash. I have 3 layers of reflection wrapping the sides, bottom, and top.
I stir like he'll for about 3 mins before closing everything up for the mash.
Should I be stirring the mash half way through to make sure the temp is even in the MT? I generally do 10 gal batches.
I've always been told to not stir so that the grain bed can settle... I've also read that I should give it a good stir a few times (once or twice) during the mash. I do not intend to stir while spraying (fly),.which makes sense to me.
So, to stir or not to stir. That is the question!
Cheers
