Hi, I was wondering how to go about using the steeping grains without a grain bag. I heard that the grain bags can cause too much astringency due to the particles being released through the bag. I was advised to use a strainer instead and to run the boiling water from one pan through the steeping grains in the strainer and and into a seperate pan then repeat before adding the final results into the brewpot. Does this sound like good advice? Also, does anybody else do this, if so would you be willing to share the specifics of this method? ie, how much water to use in the pan, how many times to rinse the grains with the water, so on...
Thanks!
Thanks!
