Ok so I just recently decided to try the reflectix wrap for a no fire MLT. I did as i've read on forums, I wrapped it 4 times and even made a nice cap. I then did a test with only 150 deg water. I have a lid between the reflectix cap too.
It lost 8 degrees in about an hour on a 70 degree day. I dont get it.
Is it because once i add the grain and get a mash it will hold heat better?
I can remove the reflectix and direct fire but with my big burner and doing it by hand (i have no auto system) will be tough to stay within a few degrees.
I'm coming from indoor small batch brewing so this is all new to me so any help appreciated
Thanks,
Scott
