Frat?


I don't do that. There are apparently many ways to skin a cat.

I add my water to the mash tun a little warm to account for the mash tun taking some of the heat. I then dump the grains in and go to town with my giant mash paddle to get rid of all the dough balls. I have added the grains first but have trouble not splashing the grains all over the place when I add my water since I just dump it in not use a hose and slowly add it.

I really do not think that it matters, but I am sure there are other things that I do wrong.

I agree...

Think I'll either try the 1 gallon the grain then rest of water or make sure my false bottom is sitting flush/sealed against the walls of the cooler.

I typically boil water and throw it in the mash tun about 15 minutes before adding my grain to let the tun heat up. I then pour out the water, add my grain, then add my mash water 1 gallon at a time, mixing after each water addition.
