I added a thermometer to my mash tun and then tested it by putting water in it at about 118 degrees (that's what my faucet temp is). The temperature dropped by about 1.5 degrees in half an hour... so about 3 degrees in an hour. my cooler is just a simple coleman cooler, not an extreme or anything.
If I want to mash at 152, should I try to hit 154 or something with my strike water? Is my cooler a piece of crappola and should I get another one?
Thanks for the help. Cheers.
