So a buddy and I made our first all-grain brew yesterday. We did a 1/2 batch (~ 10L / 2.5G) using 2.5lbs of 2-row, 2.5lbs of pale malt and 0.5lb of oat flakes.
Our mash temperature got a bit high on us. It was probably ~160F for quite a while (30+ minutes). I'm a bit worried about this.
It's the following day and it seems to be fermenting just fine.
Anyways, my main question is about the color of the wort. Instead of a nice golden brown that I've seen it's more of a green-brown. Kinda swamp water looking.
Should I be concerned? Or just happy if we make good swamp water our first time around?
Cheers!
