Brewed a centennial blonde yesterday and missed temp. Was only a single batch in my 15 gallon kettle so guage read 165 and thought I was good for douging in but water was below proper temp probe and while mixing grain saw only 130!!!! yikes!! Called for 154. Quickly heated about 10 litres to a measured 185 and mixed in a few litres at a time and got around 147 to 145 and closed lid on mash cooler and hoped for the best.
Anyone have this experience and still come out with a fine ale?
Assuming it will be thinner in body. SG was still right on at 1.043.
Thanks
Will learn from this error as I usually do double batches and measure temperature with the kettle and 2 other gauges.
