Hi all, I'm in the middle of mashing a Belgian wit, specifically Austin Homebrew's Blue Moon clone. The grain bill contains
5.00 lb Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 50.0 %
3.00 lb Wheat, Flaked (1.6 SRM) Grain 30.0 %
1.00 lb Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM) Grain 10.0 %
1.00 lb White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM) Grain 10.0 %
The problem is, I overshot the strike temp for the protein rest and hovered around 133 F for the 30 min. Now I added my boiling water and am at about 157. According to Palmer (http://www.howtobrew.com/images/f79.gif) I was out of the protein range and into the Beta Amylase range.
Is my beer going to be really dry now? Is there anything I can do if it is?
Thanks in advance for all your help!
