Well, I'm right in the middle of my very first partial mash. I'm doing brew in a bag (of course I forgot the damn bag, so I'm going to have to strain the wort *into* my grain bag in a bucket before moving on. That was my first mistake.
The second was thinking my temps wouldn't hold, so I preheated my oven to 170, turned it off, and put my perfectly tempped mash into the oven. It started out at 154 degrees. When I checked it 25 minutes later (thinking the temp would have dropped) it actually went *up* to 165 degrees or so.
Ah!
I added some cold water, mixed back to 154, and left it out of the oven. It's finishing up the mash now. I'm hoping I didn't screw it up too bad. Great first partial mash so far, eh? :cross:
