Strike
Water
I heat
more water for the mash-in
My desired amount of water, usually 1.5-2
quarts/lb of grain, goes on the burner. I pour in an extra couple of gallons
just in case I need it, put the lid on, and wait a few minutes.
I let my strike water reach the desired temperature
Using ye
olde digital probe thermometer (like in the days of yore) I monitor my strike
water temp. The alarm goes off at a few degrees below what I'm shooting for to
allow for carryover heating. The probe wire is not submersible, but I can
usually get the probe to hang safely by wedging it with the lid. I've also got
a floating dairy thermometer, which has served me very well for many years. I
just like the fact that I can leave the lid on while I'm heating my water. |
