I am planning to make Orfy's Hobgolin beer as my first recipe beer (I have done kits up until now). I have identified what I think are the correct grains for this, but I would just like to make sure that I am talking about the correct stuff. I may or may not buy from the sources listed, I am just wanting to make sure that I am on the right track and not totally off my rocker.
-- Steep Specialty Grains
0.17 kg Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain

0.15 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain

0.09 kg Chocolate Malt (450.0 SRM) Grain

25 gm Styrian Goldings [5.00%] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops

25 gm Fuggles [4.50%] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops

I am also a little unclear on what to do with the specialty grains. I have made kits with specialty grains and they were steeped for xx amount of time in a grain bag before being removed and drained. After that, I added the LME, DME and hops and proceeded with the boil schedule. Orfy's recipe doesn't explicitly say what to do with the specialty grains.
I am really looking forward to this beer! It looks like it is exactly to my "taste"!
Thanks!
Dave
