I'm making a Cream Ale from Northern Brewer.
"Steep for 20 minutes or until water reaches 170 F."
I remember, and maybe I did it wrong last time with my Brown Ale, but I thought you were supposed to get the temperature to hold around 160 F and then steep your grains for 20 minutes, rather than slowly letting it reach that temperature?
Will there make that much of a difference? Thanks.
