I wouldn’t be, truck trailers and rail cars can easily get that hot inside most of the country most of the year so I’d bet that many folks sacks of grains have seen those temps before since they are shipped around the country in them. Now long term storage at those temps would be a problem.

Water, I'm at work. No pic required, you all know what it looks like!

At that OG I would oxygenate at least a second smaller dose at about 12 hours after pitching and more likely a 3rd small dose at about 24 hours after pitch. The yeast will use it up.

It will dissipate, it is SOP in making wine from grapes to sulphite at or just after crush/press and then wait 24 hours for the Meta K to do its thing and dissipate before pitching yeast

I’d like to know about the carboys you have, sizes and prices. Also, I’m always on the lookout for Better Bottles and/or BB accessories.
