OK so last weekend I did something dumb. I had a 30 lb of grain in my tun to make a 10 gallon batch of stout, OG turned out to be 1.084. My target temp was to be 156 f. after mashing in my temp was a little low 153 f. so I began to recirculate with a pump using a soft flame. Well I got distracted and before I know it after about 15 minutes the temp of the mash had reached 163. I turned off the flame and continued to recirc intill the temp was back down to 155-156 range. I had some Amalyse enzyme on hand so I added 2 table spoons to the mash thinking maybe this would reintroduce enzymes back to the mash that would have been denatured (sp?). Then I figured as an addded measure I added another pound of 2 row thinking this would supply additional enzymes too. I then let it sit an additional 45 minutes at the lower 150 degree f range. Does this sound like it makes sense?
I'll post back once its done fermenting to reveal my findings
