Hi.
I do BIAB 8 liter batches.
In my mash I noticed that if I put my thermometer in the grain it is quite a bit lower than if I pull my bag out and check the water temp. or pull the bag to the side. If it was just a few degrees I'd understand but it can be 10 degrees Celsius off, which reading do I trust? I think the one in the grain because that's where the grain is, but if the water is a lot hotter then shouldn't that be important since that's hitting at least the outer layer of grain before it gets cooled?
Thanks!
