|
|
Doh! Silly me managed to turn off the HLT recirculation at the start of the mash - so the temp probe was not reading an accurate number and the elements were firing the whole time while I casually walked away thinking the mash had started. So instead of my target temp of 148, I managed to get the mash as high as 166+ for 15-20 minutes...
to help solve this problem as quick as possible and salvage the mash enzymes, i added 3 gallons of cold water to quickly bring the temp back down. (1bbl size so normal strike water volume is 15.6 gallons)
as i know this will now affect my 1.5 grist ratio... is there anything else I have to do to in my process or calculations to compensate for this missed temp and additional water in the MT?

Likely not, at least there's nothing in my process and calculations I'd do differently. If your process / calculations are different then maybe. Run through them and check.
I'd just ride it out, see what happens. Not much else you can do.
Hopefully you didn't denature too much and don't have too high of a FG because of this. What sort of recipe?
Good luck!
