I know the mashing temperature is always measured within a degree or 2. It looks like my thermometer may have been off by 6 or 7. I brought water up to around 166 degrees and took a temperature with a digital meat thermometer, a glass floating thermometer (that doesn't float that well) and the...

The following is my setup. - 10 Gallon Aluminum brew pot (I just ordered a stainless with thermometer and valve) - A propane cooker, but I didn’t use it for the 60 minute boil because it was too cold so a gas stove. - 10 Gallon Igloo round cooler with false bottom and stainless...
