  I'll probably give this recipe a shot soon. Sounds like its a winner. It seems like I've read
  somewhere on here about leaving the dark, roasted grains out of the mash until the end or doing
  a separate...

  I don't stir right before the first vorlaugh or add any mash out water. I don't see how that

  then boiling i...
