    170 to 180... I'm not too precise, just like it to be hot.

    shoot for 185 going into my HLT, that puts me right bellow 170 when I put it in my mash.

    I heat my sparge water to 190 to end up around 170 in the tun.My garage stays pretty cool hence so does my grain.I heat my mash water to near 180 to achieve 150 for the mash.
