The stout recipe I am using calls from steeping some malt and barley for 30 minutes, then removing the grains and adding DME, honey and oats for a 60-min boil. Well, when I got the ingredients today, I just brought the list and not the actual schedule so all the grains AND the oats were crushed together and are mixed in one big plastic bag. Do you think I should try to sift the grains through some sort of strainer to remove the oats or just leave them in for the steeping and add more during the boil? I think I could do this since the oats aren't as crushed as the grains. I'm concerned that if I leave the oats in during the steeping, they could soak up some of what should be staying behind in the water. Any thoughts?
