Radiator flush quick question - drained fluid only warm not hot after 20min

Quick question. In the middle of a full radiator flush. After draining 8L, filled the radiator up with distilled water and idled with the engine on for 20-25 minI also went and feathered the accelerator a bit.

When I opened the valve on the bottom to drain, I was curious and touched the water. It was lukewarm at best.

Any ideas? I thought it was supposed to be piping hot. Makes me think something is wrong. Did the thermostat not open? Maybe I should just put the radiator cap on and go for a drive? I kept the engine on while having the fluid in a funnel, not pressurized with a cap.
