One of our problems has been to maintain a consistent mash temp. We have a digital temperature gauge on the input just prior to the MLT after the HERMS HE loop and one on the output of the MLT. When we start, we are on temp with both gauges, but as time goes on, the inlet is about 6 degrees F difference. If I want 151, the outlet was 148 while the inlet was 154. When we started, they were both 151. The analog gauge on the MLT was at 142 which we choose to ignore.
The beer reach O.G. without any problems and it is great beer so I do not worry too much about it. I would think a Mash Rake would work to keep top and bottom much closer.
We normally mash 35 to 40 pounds of grain, so the mass is high.
