Why is it normally suggested that you steep in a smaller amount than you intend on boiling when using steeping grains.
example: recipe i just did said to steep in a half gallon of water for 30 minutes at 160, then sparge with a gallon of 160 degree water, then add another gallon of water to make 2.5 gallons to do the boil.
why not just steep at 2.5 gallons?
