I brewed up a batch of Pale Ale the other night and my wife decided she wanted to play the role of assistant brewer. I had filled my brew kettle with the appropriate amount of strike water, Unfortunately while I was getting some things ready in the other room, my wife decided to heat up the strike water and dump in the grain before it was even close to mash temperature. When I came back into the kitchen I was like what the hell are you doing? She replies "I was just trying to help." Any ideas on what I should expect from this flaw in the process? Will the beer just be super dry?
Once I got it to temperature I mashed at 154 for 45 minutes. Its fermenting away now and smells amazing, but I am a bit concerned about the result the improper mashing will have on the beer flavor and mouthfeel.
Anyone have any experience with this?
