Description
|
 | Select the Strike/Infusion Temperature command on the Tools menu. |
| Enter the target temperature and other parameters needed for the calculation. |
| Read the Infusion Water Temperature from the bottom of the view. |
| Calculation - The type of calculation to perform. For the initial (first) infusion, called a strike, select Initial Strike. If this is a subsequent infusion step, select Infusion Step. |
| Target Step Temperature - The desired strike or step temperature. |
| Water to Add - The amount of heated water to add (infuse) to the mash to raise the temperature of the mash. |
| Starting Water Volume - The amount of water already in the mash -- note that this is assumed to be zero for an Initial Strike calculation. |
| Weight of Grain - The total amount of grain in the mash at this stage. |
| Initial Grain Temperature - (For an initial strike only) This is the temperature of the grain and mash tun before adding the infusion water. |
| Initial Mash Temperature - (For an infusion step calculation only) This is the temperature of the mash before the new heated water is added (infused) |
| Mash Tun Weight - The weight of the mash tun that needs to be heated. If non-zero, the infusion temperature is adjusted upward to compensate for the thermal mass of the mash tun. |
| Infusion Water Temperature - The calculated temperature of the water to add (infuse) to achieve the desired target step temperature. |
| Water/Grain Ratio - The total amount of water AFTER the infusion, divided by the total amount of grain. Represents the ratio as it would be after the infusion water has been added. |
| Error - Strike temperature above boiling! Add more water! - If you see this message displayed, then the calculated water temperature is above the boiling point of water. More infusion water will be needed to reach the target temperature. Increase the amount in the Water to Add field. |
