Perhaps I'm missing something here, but when I change the specific heat for my mash tun, it doesn't change the infusion water temp. I'm missing my mash temp by around 5 degrees.
I have a stainless keg that is insulated with 2.5" of spray foam. I've tried a specific heat number of 0.12, the recommended stainless value, and also .3, which is recommended for plastic coolers. The mash tun weighs about 40 lbs.
I don't have any idea what specific heat is, or what to set my value at, and last, it doesn't change the temp of the infusion water when I change the values.
Thanks for your help,
Dave
