OK, doing my first AG BIAB today, and I mashed hot. (Didn't account for rise time and temp equilibration after dumping in grain, so I hit it with more heat, when I checked at the 30 minute mark I was at 160)
Is 160 too hot? If so, this means I won't get as much fermentable sugar, right?
Iodine test at 50 minutes is good, but does iodine test for starches into sugars, or starches into FERMENTABLE sugars??
Thanks!!!
