Hi folks!
As far as I know, the sort of "warm" steeping is quite a common process for extract brewers.
But during last year I more and more often stumbled across recipes which calls fo sort of "cold" steeping - crushed grains steeped into cold water (2-3 liters) for about 24h in fridge.
I think I know what is going on with the special grains while "normal" (lets call it "warm"?) steeping.
Can you please explain me the purpose of "cold" steep and main difference between those two (by result)?
Thanks!
