Hey guys, I've had my first brew in the fermenter for a week and just received my 2nd brew kit in the mail so I'm thinking about my next batch.
My first batch and this second one too call for steeping the grains at 155 for 25 minutes.
My question is how do you properly steep? Do you "yo yo" the grain bag up and down the entire 25 minutes, do you just place the bag in water for the 25 minutes, or do you plunge it up and down a few times, etc?
On my first batch I plunged it up and down pretty much constantly over the 25 minute period. I have no clue, this may not be correct and may make the brew have a bad/funny taste.
