I decided to do an all grain brew and used the Centennial Blonde 5 gallon AG recipe.
Im having problems managing the inital mash temps and had to add more water to get back to the 150ish range. Seems my cooler is leaking heat like a mofo but at 25 minutes I checked temps again and was down to 153 to 156. I had some bad thermometers too. But I switched to digital probe and it is much easier. So get a better cooler and an accurate thermometer with extended thermocouple.
About 27 minutes remain so Im off to fire up the burner for 4the gallons of strike water.
No need to respond as Im just making notes here from my phone.
