Mash Infusin Equation

Hi, I'm looking to find an equation that will give me the Temperature required of the second or third infusion rest when I enter a set volume of water....

I already have the Strike Water Initial Infusion Calc and the Mash Infusion Calc (which gives me the volume of water to use when the infusion temperature is entered) from Palmers "How to Brew".

I am building my own brewing software (using MS-Access & VBA) so what I need is the actual algorithm that will tell me what temperature a set volume of water needs to be to raise the mash temperature from say 55 degrees celsius to 65 degrees celsius adding

20 litres of hot liquor. The equation in Palmers book will give me the volume of Hot Liquor to add when I enter a specific infusion temperature, what I need is an equation that will tell me the temperature of the 20 litres of Hot Liquor needs to be to raise the mash temperature from 55 degrees to 65 degrees. I am working predominately in metric, but, can convert from imperial.

Thanks very much if you can help. David

Not exactly an answer to the question you asked, but are you aware of Promash?

for a free demo. May save you from reinventing the wheel. OTOH, maybe you just want to write your own...

Well, if I shan't re-invent the wheel I'll just go to my local bottlo/liquor store/supermarket (for those living in the democratic United States of America) and BUY my beer instead of brewing it myself.

I'm just looking for a bit of help with an algorithm.
