Interesting setup. Usually my strike temp is about 172 for a mash of 158. You are adding boiling water so you must be counting on alot of temp loss from the shower action plus the cold grain. Also I noticed you didnt preheat the mash tun either. How long did it take to dial that in?! :)

i've made beer for breakfast!

[DevonHomeBrew]

@azuritet3 You cant used breakfast cereals they have all been treated and stuff

[azuritet3]

ever made beer out of breakfast cereal?

[FortKnite]

wouldn't the hot water melt the plastic of the cooler? Plastic is a dangerous chemical for the body without it being melted. I'm surprised an eco guy wouldn't know this though. Since I can't post links google it. Heat causes chemical leech.

Boiling water in the grain? seriously? You do know your grain temp shouldn't exceed 165 during the rest right?

@headshotgoof It is a pretty efficent means of sparging, in my opinion. I wish I had the setup rather than the sparging arm I am currently using.If you think mini breweries taste like shit then you haven't tasted beer from ones which know how to make beer!

Nice rig you got built there. You are wasting your time slowly spreading the grain out under the sprinkler. Just fill with water and stir in grains. No science to my knowledge that says a slow introduction of grain to water increases efficiency. They aren't courting each other before mating. Just slap'em together!
