So when brewing my first all grain batch I overshot my mash temp by about 12 degrees. I didnt let my stike water temp equalize in my keggle before adding my grain. 154 when I left, 166 when I checked 30 mins later. I stirred the hell out of it and got the temp down but I guessing too little too late.
So it has been in the fermentor for 2 weeks and I just checked the gravity......1.024. The og was 1.056. I anticipated the fg to be 1.010 to 1.012. Would my extremely high mash temps cause my fg to be 14 points higher? I know the hotter the mash the less fermentable the wort but that seems pretty extreme. The beer tastes good so im not worried about that. But I just want to make sure if I bottle this beer im not creating a bunch of bottle bombs.
