I was reading through a thread earlier under the Beginners forum and I came across an old thread that covered basic extract brewing guidelines.
There was a couple of points in it that focused on steeping the grains and I want to make sure that I understood it correctly.
The thread starter/moderator of sorts discussed steeping the bag of grains in a SMALL amount of water (his method was 1-3L of water per pound of grains.
So if the batch I made last week that included 1 lb of specialty grains, would/should have been steeped in just under 1 gallon of water?
Under 165 degrees or 20-30 minutes?
Am I understanding this correctly?
Then what? Add rest of boil volume water (in my case 2.5 to 3 gallon partial boil)
Proceed with extract addition, etc...
Thanks
