Subject: RE: Full heat corn drying and cool down in bin



Floyd County, Iowa
I transfer hot, and cool in the bin.
It depends on the year. Some years it dries more, some years less, after transfer/cooling.
I write it down in my manual each year what the moisture is going in, and going out of the dryer. (edit: I also write down what dryer temp is set at and meter roll settings) That's my starting point for the year. Tweak it from there.
I hang my sample in a cloth bag in front of the dryer fan to cool it, then test it. I usually figure an additional point will be removed by the slower cooling in the bin, compared to the quick cooling in front of the fan, but this way I know what I'm going to end up with.
I'm attaching a pic I took this year, and it shows the sample bag on the dryer fan.
