So I was showing my brother how to brew and we were drinking a previous batch (I never have more than two while brewing, and this is why).
To make a long story short, while conducting the mash, I was looking at the Celsius side of the thermometer and so I mashed an IPA at 52c (125f) rather than at 152f like I intended.
I got an OG of 1.053 and pitched a 2L starter of Wyeast 1056 and had a crazy fermentation. I don't do an iodine test so I don't know if I got conversion (if it's even possible at 125 degrees...).
So will this turn into a good beer? What effect will mashing at 125 degrees have on a beer...
