Hello,
I have the one tier 10 gallon SMART Digital System. I've started continuously circulating the mash through the heat exchanger during my mashing process due to the fact that if I wait for my temp. switch to kick in, I get pretty large fluctuations in my mash temps. since what the temp gauge is reading in one part of the kettle may not be true for the entire kettle as it sits. So, to try to avoid these temperature disparities, I've starting sparging the entire time.
So, since I continuously circulate the wort through the heat exchanger, I am still noticing I can't seem to be able to keep my mash temps where I want them. If I set my hot liqueur tank to 122 degrees for instance, my mash tun seems to hover around 120. If I set my hot liqueur tank to 154 degrees, my mash tun hovers around 151. Has anyone else with this system had this problem, and if so, how did you over come it?
