Hi
yesterday i brewed a weiss for the an upcoming homebrew fest. I decided to try a decotion mash for the first time.
My grain bill looked like this:
3.23 kg Wheat Malt, Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 2 49.2 %
2.53 kg Pilsner (Weyermann) (1.7 SRM) Grain 3 39 %
0.63 kg Munich II (Weyermann) (8.5 SRM) Grain 4 9.6 %
0.15 kg Caramunich I (Weyermann) (51.0 SRM) Grain 5 2.3 %
I wanted to mash like this:
Rest 44.0 C 20 min
Saccharification 66.7 C 40 min
Mash Out 75.6 C 10 min
But it ended up working more like this as i didnt manage to adjust the temp as quickly as i'd hoped.
Mash in (about 46-48 C for around 10 mins while trying to get it down to 44C)
Rest 44.0 C 20 min (got it to 44 C and held it there for 20 mins)
Saccharification 66.0 C 40 min
Mash Out 72 C 10 min (didnt quite hit 75C, held it at around 70-72C)
What effect would this have on my brew? should i rush off and get ingredients to redo this tomorrow?
I am fermenting in the middle of the range, my STC 1000 is set to 20.C - it will be a little warmer in the bucket. I planned to ferment a little cooler, but what i understand about Safbrew wb-6 is that it gives more clove on the cooler side. I had a longer initial rest than expected, so i am fermenting slightly warmer than planned.
