What will the result of my Belgian Strong Dark Ale be if my mash temp went too low (143ish)? I put together a huge grain bill and filled my mash tun to the very top and ended up losing some temperature. I was shooting for 148 but it dropped to 145 and then slowly to 143 or 142 at the end of the 90 minutes.
This was somewhat of an experiment to see how big of a grain bill I could put together with the system I'm brewing on and sort of overshot my landing and the result was lost temp. The gravity reading when cooled and went into the fermenters was 1.093 which was my target but I may end up with more fermentable sugar than expected.
Fermentation begain within 3 hrs and was shooting foam through the blow off by 5 hrs. This was by far the fastest and most violent fermentation I've had.
It's currently on day 4 of fermentation and now just calmly bubbling away at 74 deg in the fermentation chamber.
Any thoughts on the outcome of this?
