I have a pound and a half of Caramel 60L crushed grains. I want to add these to six pounds of amber malt extract. I have a muslin bag as well. Do I boil the grains in water then dump the water into my malt extract? If so, how long should I boil for, and how much H2O should I use for 1 1/2lbs of grain?

Here's my recipe.
1 1/2lbs 60L grain
6lbs amber malt extract
1 oz williamette
1 oz nugget
1oz galena

Any thing else I should add?
Thanks for the help

You should steep the grains in hot water. Somewhere around 150-160. Try not to exceed 170. You are not extracting fermentable sugars from these grains, so the exact temp does not matter.

As much as you plan to boil, for 30 mins.
