HERMS -Temperature

[PommyIan]

Hello all.
I've pondered this for a while but just can't decide. When recirculating the mash with a herms where should the mash temp for control be measured?
1. At the mash tun exit?
Seems logical but the water entering the mash tun will be higher, hence mashing some grain at a higher temp...
2. At the mash tun entry point.
Again logical but temp will be lost through yhe mash and again some grains will be mashed at a lower temp this time.

Thoughts and experiances welcome......

HERE.. I could go on but seriously, if you aren't going to look for yourself why should I bother?

There's been plenty of discussion and evidence provided in the thread referenced. The generally accepted best answer has been heat-exchanger exit as the temperature probe location. I'm not sure that the folks who've given hours of their time in research, effort and writing really owe you another discussion here just because you want one in your own thread. In the spirit of online forums, if you want to join in the ongoing and active discussion referenced I think you'll find what you're looking for.
