Posted this in the recipe section, but it's more of a beginner brewing question...
So I followed the Blue Moon clone extract recipe (biermuncher) and have a question...
Recipe calls for 3# extra light DME and 1# dry wheat extract. My LHBS suggested I flip the ratios and try 3# dry wheat extract and 1# extra light DME. I did a full 5.5 gal boil.
So far so good... until I forgot to add the 1# of extra light DME. Did a 60 min boil.
I started to cool the wort with my chiller (made it to approx 100 degrees) then noticed the 1# of extra light DME still sitting on the counter. I quickly reheated the wort on stove (also have immersion heater). Brought it up to 160 pretty quickly, and held it for about 10 min. Then I re-cooled to 80, aerated and pitched my yeast. OG was 1.054. Fermentation started going nuts within 12 hrs.
Should I be concerned with this last-minute DME addition??
