Hey guys,
Did my first BW today! Ran off and diluted my first runnings of a Biere de Mars for the BW into an old cooler/MLT. Used the White Labs Lacto culture and it's currently sitting at 100 F. Where I think I screwed up is that somehow I forgot to boil it for 15 minutes BEFORE chilling down to 100 F. How critical of an error will this be? My plan is to drain into my BK on Friday, boil for 60, chill, add a Kolsch yeast. Not a huge deal if it doesn't work..the BW was kind of an after thought.
