Strike water was 5 gallons @ 168° strike temp with 10.5# of grain. I was shooting for a 152° mash temp but somehow messed up the calculation and my mash settled at 158°. I removed the lid and stirred like it stole something for a few minutes but this wasn't as effective as hoped so I added a qt of cool water and that got me to my target temp.
The problem was that it took almost 30 minutes to hit my temp and I am wondering what I might expect in my finished beer? How much sweeter will it be?
Thanks for the help!
