Thanks for the replies. Ok, so I went about this brew like I have with my other full extract brews, with the exception of the 45 min steep at 155. I did a full boil, actually steeped the grains in about 6 1/2 gallons of water. I read in a few places that its best to do full boils with more water to compensate for loss during the boil?
But, what I think I am understanding from you guys is that I should have used much less water while steeping? Also, I had the grains in a muslin sack, and did not stir them during the steep. At the end, when I removed them, I dunked them up and down a good 20 times to extract out as much as possible. Dang, I hope I did t blow this one. I was excited with this one since I had a few other brews under my belt.
