Grain bed got to 173-ish

[Yankeehillbrewer]

So, I've been doing all grain for about 3 years now, about 75 batches and I've never had this problem. In fact I've always had a hard time getting to Mash out temps. Well, I recently switched to mashing at 1.25 qts/lb and being my lazy self i didn't make adjustments to my sparge Temp. Anyhow, today my grain bed got a little to hot.

Any ideas on what I could expect from this? Is 173 so hot that I will definitely get Tannins?

Thanks

I bet it will be fine. Relax.

173 isnt bad at all. 170 is a pretty common mash out temperature.

You're fine RDWHAHB

It should be ok. I wouldn't expect any issues.

You need temps AND pH to extract tannins. You will be fine!
