Beer Drenched Executioner
Sometimes I make a partial mash or all grain version of a beer recipe that started out as an extract with steeping grains type recipe.
I've noticed that when I make beer and mash the specialty grains it seems like you need to use a lot less than if you only steep the grains.
I guess what I'm saying is that it seems like you get a lot more bang for your buck on specialty grains if they are mashed rather than simply steeped, and in general if you try and make a partial mash or all grain version of a recipe that calls for steeping grains, it would be wise to consider scaling back on the use of any specialty grains if you want the beer to come out the same.
Agree ? Disagree ? Any thoughts ?
