ok folks, just made my first brew. took about 6 hours since i had trouble getting temps up (dis not place on high, he he). Had a pair of boil overs but nothing serious. Once i finished my 4th hop addition i let it cool. i am making IPA and at 1100 at night i was forced to pitch the yeast since i wake up for work. the temp of the wort was 10-15 degrees higher than what it should be (70F).
Should i just chuck it and start over? is there any way to recover from this foolish display of impatience? Will the hoppiness hide any of the negative taste (use magnum, cascade, and liberty. Will dry hop with 2 oz of Cascade)?
Another side question. The wort look nice and dark, very yummy. How much lighter will it get during the fermentation process?
