Quick question. When I do a full boil do I steep my grains in the 6 or so gallons or do I use 2 or 3 gallons and then add the water for the boil?
Yes, It is an extract. Thanks for the reponse. I am going to do a Scottish Ale at about 8% ABV! (For sipping on by the fireplace this winter)
Another process...
I steep mine (1.5 qts. per lb.) in another pot while the larger vessel is coming up to temp. Then I dump the smaller pot into the wort kettle on the top of which is a large ss strainer. Sparge the grains and bring the kettle up to volume.
Works like a champ for me.
I do Mr. Beer 2.13 gallon sized batches and I steep 1/2 pound of grains in about a quart of water once it reaches 160F. I then steep them for 30 minutes while holding the temperature between 155-165F. Then I take the grain sack out, after it drips back as much liquid as it can without squeezing it.+1 to jason.mundy. I throw the grains in at 140 and pull them out at 170.
