Couple weeks ago I brewed a black IPA from extract. While steeping the grains I left the kitchen, only to return and find my temp was around 190 F....Doh! I pulled the grain bag out immediately, and forged on. When I transferred to secondary last week I took a taste and I found it to be astringent. Not roasty bitter, or hoppy bitter, but I think astringent would be the word. Is there any hope of time lessening this flavor, or am I screwed this time? Thanks in advance for any opinions!
