So I'm getting ready to start my 3rd batch using a recipe I got from my lhbs (mirror pond clone). They are closed today, and stupid me, I was in a hurry and didn't ask them for help while I was there.
The first step is what I need clarification on:
Using 8oz of 45L Crystal Malt - crushed (I got from them, it's crushed and redy to go)
Add crushed grains to 1.5 gallons of cold water in the brew kettle. Over 20 to 30 minutes on medium-high heat gradually bring mixture to a boil. Remove grains from kettle and sparge (rinse into kettle) with 1 quart of hot tap water. Bring this grain tea to a boil, remove from heat (next step is adding LME and hop pellets).
So, do I just throw the crystal malt in a grain bag, bring to boil in the water, then take it out and basically pour 1 quart of hot tap water over the bag, into the kettle? I'm assuming I would just put the grain bag in a strainer or colander and pour through that?
Is it that easy or am I missing something?
Thanks!
Kosch
Any help would be appreciated! I was going to get this going tonight
