Well then I am stumped. I have no idea why the mash temp would drop so dramatically. It does not make sense to me.


I wonder if the original temp was taken too quickly before everything equalized. So realistically the initial mash temp was in the 147 range and not 152. I cannot imagine that a brand new cooler would drop temp that fast. Hell, my 3 year old one does a better job than that.

What about how cold his grains were to begin with?
If he kept them cold for some reason it could sap out some of the heat.

I think this was the problem. I was getting gun shy on having to high of mash temps.
