When using steeping grains such as crystal malt, should they be thrown in at the beginning of the boil or simply steeped in hot water (in a grain bag) before the wort is boiled and removed prior to adding the malt. Is there a disadvantage to boiling crystal malt for 45mins-1hr? This is definately a newb question but...SURPRISE, i'm a newb, haha, I have my very first batch on its 3rd day in the primary. BTW this site is great and I appreciate all of you experienced brewers helping everyone out!
