I got an extract recipe for a dark honey lager online and it calls for steeping some 120L Crystal malt as well as some chocolate malt. I've only brewed from kits before and this will be my first time buying ingredients and brewing from a recipe. Anyway, the only malts that my local homebrew store had were uncrushed. I do not own a grain mill yet (it's on the wishlist though) so my question is do I need to hand-crush these (or is there a better way) or can I steep them whole?
BTW, I plan on roasting these malts in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees before steeping them.
Thanks for the help.
