I just got my new Blichmann Mash Tun and before I go to Lowes and grab some Refletix to cover up the shiny...I was thinking
"Do I really give a rat's arse if it is insulated?"
Granted it will take more "energy" and the temp on the HLT HE may have to be a few degrees higher...does insulation in a HERMS system really matter?
I'm recircing the mash the entire time to maintain that temp...so could I really loose THAT MUCH heat?
Thoughts?
Is there a simple equation I could run on it?
