I dumped 3.5 gallons of 180F water into my 10 gallon Igloo cooler and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Checked temp of water and it was at 161.5.
Target mash temp for 8.75 pounds of grain + ~4 cups of rice hulls at ~65F is 152F.
Douhg in grains and stirred well and temp was 145F!
This makes no sense to me.
Any ideas?
I added 1 gallon of boiling water to get temp up to 152.
