I did my first all grain step mash in
A cooler yesterday all is going well until my second infusion of boiling water. I started out with a 10.5 lb grain bill and 10.5 qts of water. Mash in at 146 to settle at 133. Then went with 5 qts boiling to raise to 155. All good to this point, then 1 qt boiling to raise to 158, but didn't really raise temp at all? Then mash out to 167 with 4 quarts boiling and only raised to 163. Then fly sparge with 3 gallon at 170. Any thoughts? Used tasty brews calculator. Hit my OG right on at 1.054 How bad will this screw up my final product? Thanks in advance
