quick question

[venomfast]

After you pour your strike water on the grains if them temp falls below your target can you bring it up with fired heat or will this give off flavors I have been reading for a while and cant find a straight answer

Fire it up but make sure you are stirring/recirculating so there is no scorching of the grain. I do that every batch to keep the temp in the target range. Sparging as well to keep at mash out temp and I've never had an issue with tannins.

Yep, fire it up.

You can heat directly, or add a small amount of boiling water to adjust the temp. STIR while heating.

A few ice cubes works well to drop the temp a couple degrees if needed.
