Ok first of all, I used an imperial oatmeal stout recipe and the OG ended up at 1.054, which is far lower than I expected, any tips on efficiency to get a higher OG? The recipe is as follows.
11 lbs. Pale Malt Extract
1 lb. Brewers Oats
1/4 lb. Chocolate Malt
1/4 lb. Black Patent
3/4 lb. Roasted Barley
1 oz. Northern Brewer Hops (boil)
1 oz. Fuggle Hops (mid boil)
1 oz. Fuggle Hops (late boil)
Irish ale yeast
Now the main problem I am posting about is when i pitched the yeast the wort in the fermenter was 60 degrees (guess i cooled it down waay too much). But i had no means of heating it back up to 70 so am i going to be ok?!?! Pls help.
BTW this is my third home brew the first two were a dubbel wit and an ipa both very successful .
