So I lost my mind and Might have ruined a mash

Post by jon1163 »

I was making a batch of Jimbos Half barrel wheated bourbon. I got my mash all done and then Pitched before I cooled it,so I think it was about 140° when I pitched. My wife thought it was the perfect time to discuss childcare... i'm guessing I murdered about a billion of the little guys. So I cool down to 80 and then pitched one packet of safale us05 into the 5 gallons of mash . Did I screw it up or am I going to be okay?

I second MM.
I boil water and dump a bunch of yeast in to kill them. Then dump that boiled yeast slurry into the mash.... Before pitching!! Helps to provide additional food for your growing yeast population.

as every one has said the mash will be unaffected. Have told Suzie to hush it, yes dear is a smarter response. We do in fact have not one but two emicons for sarcasm btw :sarcasm: , :moresarcasm:
