The last time I made Edworts Haus Ale I heated my strike water to 167.5° and hit 150.4°, using a preheated 5 gal Igloo cooler and 73° grain.
It realy comes down to your system. for me I preheat my 20 gallon MLT with 5 gallons @180* for as long ast it takes for my strike water to get to temp.
I have to strike at 170* to hit the 152*
Ialso do ten gallon batches.

I ran the numbers through ProMash and if you are using 10 1/2 pounds of grain that is 70 degrees F with 3 1/2 gallons of water you will need to heat it to 164 degrees F. I've had pretty good results from using ProMash's calculator.
If you use more or less water it will change the dough in temp.

There is no way one can say "use this temp" unless they are using the same mash tun setup that you are using and use it at the same ambient temp. You can get close using programs such as Pro-Mash or Beer Smith but you have to adjust once you try that temp to be able to hit that strike temp every time. Be sure to write down what you do every time so you can adjust for the next brew. Everything comes into play here. Grain temp, Mash tun temp, etc.
He stated that he preheats his tun. If he does that the calculations in ProMash will be pretty accurate.WBC said:

Preheat your MLT and know the temp of your grain, and this calc will work wonders.
