I've been consistently unable to reach an appropriate finishing gravity. Recently I noticed that my dial thermometer was reading ~207 at full boil. I compared it with my digital thermometer (CDN DTW-540L) and it was about the same. I tried a 'fluid' thermometer and it read the expected 212 at full boil.
Now some research led me to consider elevation. At ~2500ft where I live, it seems boiling is 207.5F. Now that matches my digital thermometer and dial thermometer... ok... Why not the fluid thermometer?
So do I need to be making a elevation adjustment during the mash?! If I was mashing at 154 should I really be going for??
