Estimate mash-in water temperature from grain and target mash temperatures.

Good to know

Does this account for a cold mash tun?

No. Preheat the vessel or add its heat capacity to a more complete model; verify mash temperature after mixing.

Does the US setting convert mash temperature?

Yes. The unit selector converts mash and grain temperatures to Fahrenheit and the liquor-to-grist ratio to US quarts per pound.
