So I'm in the middle of my first PM batch. It's carl_g's conversion of Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde.
Problems...I checked my mash temp at 18 or so mins and it was too low...145 deg or so. Added some boiling water and got her back up. Did I screw this one up bad?
Next, I am using DeathBrewer's stovetop method so sparged in separate 5 gal pot at 168...only temp got out of hand when I added the grain bag and spiked to 180. Coming down now.
Am I screwed?
