Brewed some dead ringer yesterday. My target OG was 1064 but I ended up at 1070 at 72 degrees. Why am I high and do I care? I followed direction 100 percent...well almost 100 %. When steeping my grains, I waited until water was 170 degrees and then steeped the bag for 20 minutes instead of placing bag in cold water and then bringing it up to 170. I kept the water temp at or just below 170 for all of the 20 minute steep. How bad a screw up was this? Did this cause the higher OG.
Thanks
