Hello,
I'm looking for a Strike Temp formula that takes into consideration grain weight. Currently I am using this below formula from John Palmer:
Strike Water Temperature Tw = (.2/r)(T2 - T1) + T2
r=1.25 quartz per lbs grain
T2= Desired mash temp
T3= Temp of grain
Example
(0.2/1.25)*(154-60)+154 = 169.04 F
I would like to see the difference in formulas from one that takes the weight into consideration and one that does not. Also I have noticed a difference in results from various online java calculators.
Thanks,
Grimmy
