Someday I'll stop procrastinating
After a rather long break I just finally got my first AG batch in the MHT. It's a 3 gallon batch and is the test batch for the grain I had left from when I stopped and for my pasta roller grain mill.
I'm hoping the thing doesn't lose much heat... it's full to the point that
putting the cover on caused a minor overflow. In testing this cooler this morning I discovered that the heat loss was apparently almost all through the cover so I put about an inch of styrofoam insulation over it. My thermometer goes through a hole in the lid so I won't have to open it to monitor temps, and I plan to just swirl it around every once in a while until it's done.
