Hey guys.
I just made a pale ale an a last minute brew day. Wort is chilling atm.
When I mashed in, I put the strike water in the cooler to preheat and it was around 168 or so, it was too hot (obvi) was shooting for about 150ish on the mash temp so I went on and did some stuff while I was waiting for it to cool a touch.
So I mashed in late, the water temp was around 153-154 when I mashed in.
I mashed in as fast as possible and closed the top. After the hour was up, I popped the top and checked the temp and it was around 137-138. Yipes. I made the mistake of not checking in partway into the mash as I was busy as hell (but obviously really should have)
My OG should have been about 1.070, I hit about 1.065 (not too far off)
Should I be worried about anything else (besides it being lacking body from the temps being too low?)
Thanks
