I found this recipe for Racer 5 and as a new All Grain brewer -- and one that had some troubles with his temps the first time around -- i'm curious about the wording on the mash instructions.
When they say to to mash in at 145 are they saying that is a rest or is it just to heat up the tun and then dough in at 152? Also, would they mean the strike water should be 145 or come down to 145.
I just want to be clear and any suggestions/clarification to an all-grain newbie would be super appreciated!
Thanks
Jim
