I have been a member of this forum for a while but manly just lurking now that I am brewing on a more regular basis I have a few question. Three days ago I started my third home brew a English bitter (pride of raubsville a recipe ingot from here) and apparently I got really excited and instead of heating the water first for the mash (all grain recipe) I just dumped the grains in a muslin grain bag and stuck them in the cold water and then heated to the 152 mash temp. Also in the last 13 min of the mash I was helping my 15 month daughter eat dinner and left the heat on to long and the temp got up to about 165 it took about two minutes to cool down. I then held it at 152 for the rest of the mash. So my question is how bad did I screw up of at all. Oh I also dumped the yeast in the fermenter and then aerated it it seems to be doing nicely right now but wanted to see what you guys think am I ok or will it taste like poo thanks.
