I brewed a RIS last weekend (BIAB, brew #13) based on this Old Rasputin clone recipe. I followed a lot of the process it calls for including a 60 minute mash at 152°F and a mash out at 158°F/70°C. I have been really interested in reading about the science of malting & mashing so I've done a lot of reading this week. 158F doesn't seem to make sense for mash out temp and I'm seeing 167-170F is proper.
Was this likely a typo? To me, it seems like I will have some extra unfermentable sugar. Anyone else mashout at this temp and what might I expect?
