I was brewing a British Brown on my Grainfather. I was on the phone when the alert for starting the sparge came in, and I okayed it thinking it would just sit there at 75 C until I was ready to sparge. It didn't occur to me that I had changed the settings so the wort would start heating during the sparge to save time. The mash got up to 96 C before I removed the grain basket and then conducted the sparge at 75 C.
Will that high temp cause off flavors like tannin extraction or any other problems?
