I received my AHS West Coast Pale Ale kit today. The recipe is:
7 lbs Extra Pale Liquid Extract (1.3 SRM)
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM)
8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
1.50 oz Amarillo [8.90 %] (60 min)
0.75 oz Amarillo [8.90 %] (15 min)
0.75 oz Amarillo [8.90 %] (5 min)
1 Pkgs American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056)
I know that specialty grains are steeped for the flavor and color that the grains give off. I also know that 2 row is a base malt and must be mashed to get any sugars out of it. Does steeping the 2 row give off flavors and colors like the Crystal? This is only my second batch and I am trying to learn everything I can about the process. Thanks in advance!
