Yes it is... I bring the water to 170 before pouring it into my mash tun... Once the grains are added it brings the temp down to about 154 +/- few degrees. I read that you don't want anything over 170...

thanks for your input... have you experience with specialty grains in IPA's? What would be the common one to use maybe in a next brew?

I did repitch when it went into secondary with the high gravity yeast. I don't have my paperwork with me but i believe it was about 2 weeks in primary and 2 weeks in secondary. Do you think that overtime there might be some carbonation? The taste of the beer is actually very good considering...
