I have this same thing cross posted to r/homebrewing on reddit. They have told me the same thing about the crystal/caramel grains. I also have changed the 60min addition to 1oz warrior.

I will be making my first all grain beer (BIAB) hopefully this weekend and figured that instead of using a kit I would just make up my own beer. I think I have it worked out but would still like some input and opinions on just about every aspect. The recipe is as follows: Fermentables...

I have to bottle some cider today so im trying to figure out the best way to go about doing it. It seems that alot of people have had success with stovetop pasteurization method, but im leaving town tomorrow afternoon and have to take it all with me, do you think it will be safe to travel four...

done deal thanks alot guys

So later today I will be making a Belgian White. The recipe calls for some specialty grains to steep for 30mins the add the extract and hops etc. However after reviewed my supplies I realized that I have no bags to hold the hops or grains in. What is the best way to go about doing this? Oh...
