A couple of weeks ago I brewed a partial mash Porter. I had a fairly short window of time to brew and wasn't thinking it through clearly enough. Unfortunately, I added the grains to the cold water, like one might do for steeping grains, and heated to my mash temp (152F) instead of mashing in the already-heated water. I didn't take an OG reading because I was in a bit of a rush and forgot.
Has anyone blundered like this? If so, what effect(s) can I expect to the finished beer?
I'm going to take a gravity reading soon and taste the sample to see where it's at. I plan on adding some bourbon soaked whiskey barrel chips when est. FG is attained. Maybe some vanilla as well.
Thanks for any insight.
