I'm going to be brewing my third batch this weekend, and I'm going to do a mini mash. I've read up on howtobrew.com and in Papazian's book, but I'm unsure if I've got it right...
Bring 1.5qts water per each .5lb of grains I'm mashing to ~150º.
Steep (mash) grains for about an hour.
Have another 6-9qts of water heated at 170º waiting.
after my hour is up, pull the grains up out of the water, in a grain bag, put em in a strainer, then pour this 170º water over them to rinse them off.
Whats in the pot is now my wort and is ready for the extract and boiling. Is that the basic gist of it?
Thanks from a noob.
