I am started to brew the Centennial Blonde in about 2 hours. My slightly converted recipe is this for 5 gallons total with a boil size of 3 gallons....
1lb Cara-Pils (steep for 30 min.)
2lb Extra Light DME
.25 Centennial 9% (45 min)
.25 Centennial (20 min)
.25 Cascade (10 min)
.25 Cascade (5 min)
3 lb Extra Light DME( 1 minute)
My question is this. How much water should I steep the Cara Pils in?? I was thinking of 2.5 gallons. I am guessing that the amount of water that the grains are steeped in does matter in terms of concentration. Any thoughts?
