Ermmm what happens when you are supposed to mash at 152 but due to a bad thermometer you end up at 148-149??? I have a friend.... lol

It's not a huge difference. Your beer will be slightly dryer, but will certainly be drinkable.


I'd bet as many as half of the AG brewers out there have inaccurate thermometers. You at least know your thermometer is bad, that puts you ahead of them.


Get a thermapen

Will it affect the fg?

Will it affect the fg?

will lower the FG

I'm adjusting a recipe in Beersmith and it looks like .001 of gravity lower per 1° of lowered temperature

Don't panic. Stone brewing mashes at 148.

You get you current gravity/target gravity=a
a-1= b and than b X volume and that will give you how much water you should add
