I suspect that even with a very efficient recirculation there is a temperature differential of 1-2C from top to bottom in the mash tun. Don't know how you get around this except to think an insulating coat may help a little. So what is your mash temp? Is it that measured at the probe, in the recirculated liquor overlying the top plate, or is it the (unmeasurable) temp. deep within the middle of the mash? They are probably all different. I think you just need to know this discrepancy exists, assume its consistent over time, and compensate for it if you feel you need to.nfragol said:Hi guys and merry Christmas, it just got the new connect unit and just wanted to ask if there is a way to offset the temperature reading.
According to my thermopen its a few degrees Celsius off.
How can it sink any further than the top of the grain bed?doctr-dan said:The last few brews I have done the top perforated plate seems to sink down a fair bit.
When I first put it in I sit it just on top of the grain bed.
Any suggestions?
It doesn't.BKBrews said:How can it sink any further than the top of the grain bed?
agree. I think the only purpose of the top plate is to spread the wort/sparge water evenly over the grain bed and stop it being disturbed too much. I don't worry when it falls down.kaiserben said:It doesn't.
What's happening is his grain bed is settling/compacting, so that the top of the grain bed ends up lower than when it started. And the plate can slip because the grain bed is lower.
It's not really something to worry about. Just push it gently down to the top of the grain bed when you start the sparge.
I don't think so.SBOB said:>Unfortunately, this will take at least 3 months
