So I couldn’t sleep last night . Rather than toss and turn I got up and started brewing. I thought I had enough time to do my mash and sparge, followed by my boil. Turns out I didn’t and was forced to leave my tun sit for 3.5 hours at 149.F I got back from my doctors appt. and bam not only was I spot on for my temp still but also at my exact starting gravity of 1.046. I thought for sure I’d be starting over when I got back but . I don’t know I can’t explain it. Any thoughts?
you likely had full potential conversion under an hour, so the extra time is just that…extra time. no harm with longer rest.
Ok. That makes sense. Lol I thought it was gonna go belly up on me.lol
