Hello--
I just have a quick question I have not been able to find the answer to by searching. I am having some problems maintaining mash temps in my cooler even with preheating and having my grains at room temp. I saw one thread where someone suggested that there was too much head space in that person's cooler and they needed to take it up with Styrofoam. I though this might be part of my problem so I was going to give it a try and got some Styrofoam. My question is this: since I don't want my wort in contact with the Styrofoam nor do I want a bunch of little white floaties in my wort--what should I wrap it in--aluminum foil or plastic wrap. I can come up with plusses and minuses to each so I thought I would throw it out at the experts. Thanks for your time and replies
