On the other hand, at our scales, a degree or two plus or minus doesn't matter much most of the time. I always assume my temps are going to be off and prefer high to low, as my cooler mash tun drifts downward over time. If I start a degree over, add 2 pints of boiling water at 30 mins into the mash (single infusion), my temperature generally stays within a degree plus or minus the desired temperature. That's valid for my setup, for single infusion. If I'm doing "Hochkurz", I don't worry - the temperature adjustments will take care of themselves. Moral: Temper the mash based on the individual brew and conditions. The equations provide a very good first guess but that's all it is.
