Just a quick question about steeping specialty grains. I've read in some books that I should put my grain bags in the kettle from the very beginning before even turning on the stove, and bring the water up to 160ºF while the grain is in the water. Other books have said that I should bring the water to 160ºF and then place the grain bags in the water to steep.
Which is correct? Will there be much of a difference either way?
