I started with all grain brewing at the beginning of the year. I was making 3 gallon batches and using a 5 gallon Igloo cooler for my mash tun. The strike temps I was given by iBrewMaster seemed to work spot on for my mash temps. Now, I upgraded to a 10 gallon igloo cooler and I am having trouble hitting my mash temps based on projected strike temps from iBrewMaster. This seems to be most prevalent on the saccharification rest. I went to a 10 gallon in part because I did not have enough room to do high gravity beers and multi-step infusions. Any suggestions on how to adjust my temps. I am coming in about 6 to 8 F below.
My current solution is add additional hot water or take some thin mash and decot to bring the temp up. This is a pain. Help me avoid going back to smaller batches...
