Well, I've been looking for a Blichmann BoilerMaker. The reason being is that I can never hit the correct mash out temperature. Lets say I mash in at 154 degrees for 60 minutes. After the 60 minutes the goal is to raise the temperature to 168 degrees for 15 minutes. I've added boiling water to my mash, but I never hit that 168 degree number. I really don't like the idea of adding so much boiling water to reach my mash out goal.
I love my 10 gallon cooler mash tun. Is the Blichmann BoilerMaker the wrong path? I'm just really trying to hit the correct numbers to make the best product that I possibly can.
Should I try doing the decoction method instead? Boil a gallon of my wort run-off and add that back to the mash to reach 168 degrees? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
