Mash Notes
Started out at 158 degrees, held steady 15 minutes in.
Dropped to 155 degrees at 30 mins.
Added top off water but finished at 152 degrees. A little lower than I wanted.
After complete run off, I heated the wort to 170 degrees and did a second mash with about 3 gallons. The temp of the grain bed was 155. Ran off the second mash after 10 mins.
