I plan on going with either a partial mash of full grain batch of a Dead Guy clone (recipe via Can You Brew It).
CYBI calls for a mash of 152 degrees for 60 minutes with mash-out at 168 degrees.
My kettle is 30 qt and I have a 10 gallon 'water' cooler.
What is the best way to hit and stand at 152 for the mash, then up to 168 for the mash-out?
I assume that I will heat the mash water to 15x degrees, add the grains, bring it up to 152 then transfer it to the water cooler. However, the transfer from kettle to cooler will drop temperature ... I am certain the cooler, as well insulated as it is, will maintain temp, but I will loose heat during the transfer.
To keep it simple, I plan on keeping the grains in a bag.
I am confused.
