when mashout temp is 170deg. and I am currently mashing my grain at 153 what temp do I need to hit to achieve 170 mashout?

thanks

No one can tell you, because we don't know how much water and how many pounds of grain you already have in there. For my system, my mashout temp is almost always 202, and it's usually about 2 gallons.

Ok, using the "rest calculator" from here: http://www.rackers.org/calcs.shtml

to go to 170 from 153, assuming 11 pounds of grain at 1.75 quarts/pound, you'd need 8.6 quarts of boiling water.

ok and it states a 10 min mashout @ 170. what exactly does that mean? sorry i am super new at brewing. my first batch actually

Oh, if you're doing a mashout, you want to hit 170 to preserve the profile and the wort and stop enzymatic activity. Holding the mash at 170 at the end for 10 minutes will denature the enzymes.

so do I add the 7 quarts of boiling to the mash or all at once?
