Alrighty, so the other night I brewed my second batch of my Mo'fug Smash series. The idea is to use 10lbs MO and 3oz Fuggles in five different beers changing hop schedule, mash temps, etc - changing the process instead of ingredients.
Well, on my first batch I accidentally mashed very high, at 165F and it turned out to be one of my best beers yet. For batch number two, I decided to roast 1lb of the MO and follow the rest of the process as close to batch one as possible. I goofed! I ended up mashing at 170F, but decided to RDWHAHB and ride it out.
I'm a couple days deep and my yeast isn't making many bubbles out of the blow off tube (I know, I know - hydrometer is your God.) Did my obscenely high mashing temp leave me tons of unfermentable sugars?? I ended up with 5.5 gallons of 1.050 OG beer with WL007 as the yeast. Any ideas as to what I can expect from this beer??
Cheers!
