Fumbled Mash Temp Result Predictions

[Thunderous]

I over shot my sacch' rest temps by 6 degrees F, and undershot my mash out temp by 10 degrees F. My goal OG was 1.072 and my actual was 1.070.

Ideas/guesses on how this may play out?

What were the actual temps for each? Sounds like you got plenty of conversion and I doubt you'll notice a difference with or without a mash out.

Sacch's rest @ 152 and mash out @ 170

So you actually mashed at 158F?

Your FG will be a bit higher but RDWHAHB.

Why will the FG be higher? Less fermentables?

Yup, 158F is on the high side so you'll have less fermentable sugars. All the conversion work will be done by Alpha Amylase. Normally if you want a very fermentable wort, you shoot for ~150 which allows for both Alpha and Beta Amylase to do their work.
It should still finish just fine. You'll just have a higher FG. Also, you should have good head retention

Thanks for the peace of mind and lesson team. I've never been good at double checking my math. Cheers!

If it ends up being too sweet, thrust some brett in and give it a year.
