So this weekend I did my first all grain brew.
I have a 48 quart Igloo cube cooler that I'm using for my mash tun.
I started at 153° and after 45 minutes I was down to 149°.
I preheated with 170° water, so maybe I need to go hotter or keep it in there longer.
So I guess my question is has anyone else had problems with heat retention in one of these cooler tuns or should I ( keep your mind out of the gutter ) go hotter and longer with the preheating.
