Overshot mash temp at 157. Left in primary in house at 68 degrees for seven days. Added zest and dry hops at day seven.
Initial mash temp 148. Held for 15 minutes. Added 2qts boiling water to raise to 151 for remaining 45 minutes. Cooled wort to 180 before adding hop rest for 10 minutes.
Used Falconers Flight in our favorite Orange Pale Ale Also added a little Crystal 60 for a little more color.
Brew session went well. mash held at 153 though digital thermometer is suspect. chilled wort to 80 and placed fermenter in freezer at 70 degrees overnight.

After 16 hours in primary, no evidence of fermentation. Finally started at 30 hours. Suspect too little aeration of wort and too warm fermentation temperature.
My first all grain brew was so good it went too fast.
For some reason, the mash temp was low at 147. I added 1/2 gallon of water at 165 to bring temp to 153 and it stayed constant in the mash tun.Tried unsuccessfully to whirlpool. Total volume was a little low so I used all of the boil volume in the fermenter and will try to avoid trub when transferring to secondary. Did not collect enough pre boil volume to account for 90 minute boil. Ambient temp in house is 70, but I placed the fermenter in the tub with 70 degree water to try to maintain ...
