Steeping Question

sloosky · Feb 24, 2009

Due to problems with my thermometer, I thought I was steeping my specialty grains at 155 degrees. However, after it was all said and done with, I realized that I had problems with my thermometer and in all reality it was probably steeping more along the lines of low 200's. Do you think that I extracted too many tannins for it to be decent?

I suspect it will be fine. Who knows, you might like it so much that you start steeping everything too hot: a few tannins might become your unique house flavor

Tannin Ale!

Just like it was brewed straight from Tahquamenon Falls!

If there are excessive tannins in your wort, it would have been fairly obvious.
