I am having issues with mash temp.
I use a 15 Gallon Sanke keg with reflectix wrapped around it.
I heat my strike water to the recommended temp, mash in and stir.
Here is the scenario....
Last weekend I mashed 1in had an issue with the temp dropping to like 147 and I needed to be at 152 -
So, I turned on the burner and heated to 152 - Turned off burner and was good.
Then about 20 minutes later I checked the temp and was at 157......
I have a laser thermometer, 2 digital thermometers, and a gauge on the front of the tun.
this has happened more than once and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Do I need to wait longer before checking temp?
How long should it take to stabilize temp throughout the tun?
