Hey All,
Quick (and probably stupid) question:
I've done a couple batches total, two extract and one extract with specialty grains. I think I'm pretty comfortable with these methods. I just got a new recipe which I assumed was similar to my last with the steeping grains. However, after reading through a ton of posts on here, I'm realizing that steeping grains should by crystals and/or caras. Is this correct? If so, is my new recipe (featuring flaked and roasted barley) actually a partial mash? It's not a huge deal if it is, as I've been wanting to step up my brewing to that level, I just don't want to mash steeping grains or vice versa.
The directions just say "follow extract steps" which is a little curious to me.
