Currently, we brew with a 1/2 full kettle and add malt extract and steeped grainw ater to it. What would happen if I steeped the grains in the kettle, then removed them, then added the wort? So instead of ~2quarts of steeped grain water I would have ~2.5 gallons of steeped grain water.
I understand the risk for astringint flavors is increased, but assume that I hold my temperature right and only leave the grains in for 30 mins or less.
