I brewed a honey porter today using extract and steeping grains. I was planning on bringing the steeping water to 165 and then adding the grain bag, however I read the thermometer wrong and added the grains to 180 Degree water. I figured it out in about 5 seconds, dumped a room temperature bottled water in and lowered the temp to 165, where I let it sit for 35 minutes as it slowly cooled to 155.
Anyways, since it was above 165 for 15 seconds, but only for 15 seconds, do you think I killed the batch?
Cheers.
