Hi all - I'm going to take my first swing at a partial mash this weekend (per the oft-referenced BYO article). Modding the 2-gal cooler was the easy part, and i'm wondering if anyone has found it worth the effort to pre-heat the cooler with hot water to minimize the temperature drop when mashing in. I've seen other threads on this for the larger 48-qt size. Does the notional "11 deg above target temp" assume a room-temperature cooler?
Thanks!
Thanks!
