After reading the thread on 'Water to Grain or Grain to Water' I was more than interested to see the varying temperatures of brewers strike water.
Most of the folks here seem to be getting away with a strike temperature much lower that what I use.
My strike temp is around 75 - 76 degrees and I do NOT preheat the mash tun.
My Water to Grain ratio is around the 2.55 - 2.60 litres mark and most times hit the mash temperature of 66 degrees right on the button.
My grain is stored in a pretty cool area of the house though!
What are your thoughts?
Regards,
Lindsay
