Use your target mash temperature, grain temperature, and water-to-grain ratio. Preheat your mash tun if it usually steals heat.

How this is estimated
This uses a common infusion mash estimate based on grain temperature, target mash temperature, and water-to-grain ratio.
strike temp ≈ ((0.41 ÷ ratio) × (target - grain temp)) + target
Safety and limits
A few notes
This does not model mash tun heat loss. Stir well, check the mash temperature, and adjust with hot or cold water if needed.
Use accurate measurements for the best estimate.
