Hi guys getting the hang of AG now just in the middle of my third AG a German wheat beer Heffe weisse.Just a quick question when I was heating my mash water up to 73c when I tipped my grain in the mast tun the temp dropped to 60c, I am after a strike temp of 66c.So I added a liter of boiling water to get the temp up, managed to get 67c I put some towles around the tun to insulate a bit better and the temp kept climing to 68c so I took the towles off and took the lid off to try and decrease the temperature which helped.Is this normal for the temp to drop off when the grain is poored in and then rise again? is this why you must keep a eye on whats going on to get a consistant mash temp.
Thanks Andrew
