I haven't done an all grain batch yet, so i'm hoping for a 70% efficiency, my app tells me that with 12.25# grain i need 3.83 gall of strike water at 167.4 degrees, with 6.55 gallon of sparge at 172.6 degrees.
i need to run a test on the cooler/mash tun to see what kind of heat loss there is, just to verify these numbers. i need to stay around 152 to 155 average for the mash.
i'm hoping the accuracy pf the app is good, figuring on at least an 8 degree drop without preheating the mash tun.
any advice i'd love to have it! i've always done partials before, just mashing specialty grains, never a full batch. i have to go all grain, i stole the softball cooler and bastardized it to make my mash tun! lol
Depending on your sparge method, I fear you will blow past 70% efficiency. Make sure you have extra hops on hand. Pluff Mudd is not a very hoppy beer so if you overshoot your OG yet still use the same hop bill you might end up with a sweet underhopped brew.
