In the recent issue of byo with the article on 10 dark clones there is a passage towards the end of the intro and before the actual recipes that states something to the effect (don't have it in front of me): "You may stir the darker grains on top of the mash to aid in lautering."
Why is this? I googled about but didn't really find any statements directly related to this. Some sources indicated that you may add darker grains towards the end of the mash if you prefer that flavor profile, but nothing seemed to indicate why it would directly impact lautering.
