I'm using a 20 gallon mash tun with the Spike Trio system. I checked the temperature of the water in the mash tun with a Thermoworks Thermapen and matched the sensor readout exactly. However once I add the grain and start to mash the sensor reading on the mash tun is off sometimes by 4 degrees. For example on my last brew the sensor was reading 144F and the Thermapen read between 146-148 at different locations in the mash. Is this normal or is there something wrong with the setup? It kind of got to be a pain to constantly double check the mash temp and not be able to rely on the sensor readout.
