So I was showing a friend how to do a partial, while I was trying to brew all grain at the same time. I was distracted and screwed up on my strike temp. So I doughed in at an excessively high temp (278-282F). I was doing a session ale (I've been designing a Pale Ale for a comp so I've been try low malt combo hop/yeast/salts). The OG was 1.043(expected 1.056) and I used WL001 to ferment.Had a starter (72hr on a stirplate) and I piched it and fermentation slowed down after 3 days. I know that it'll be rather malty so I was planing to split it into 2x5gal carboys and adding either 2lbs each malt extract(diluted in 1gal) to each or doing a mini-mash and adding it back in the secondary. I was thinking of blending is back when I keg it and bottling the excess. Does anyone have a past experience or any tips to my mess up? I'll post an FG in a couple of days.
