If you only soaked for one hour you could have some issues down the line. The point of the long soak before you PC is too germinate the endospores in the grain (which are heat resistant) to make them vulnerable to the heat of the PC. Not a long enough soak will not cause these endospores to germinate meaning they could survive the PC and con tam your jars later in the process.

Not saying this is a guarantee and your jars will con tam  but just a 1 hour soak seems a lot on the light side. 12-16+ hours should be your soak time.

The soak is to germinate and make the endospores vulnerable, the simmer is to hydrate the WBS to its fullest. The heat forces H2O into the WBS. The simmering process doesn't have shit on the PC as far as killing the endospores and doesn't make them vulnerable. The point of simmering is low heat (around 170 degrees) to not crack the WBS, and you don't boil (212 degrees). The PC is higher than 212 (the point at which water turns to steam) and you see this with the steam that comes out.
