Yes it is, and even better that you replied. Thank you so much for insight, I’m going to make those adjustments and skip the mash for now. I’ll save that for another batch when I know better how to treat it. I’ll update once it’s finished and let you know how it turned out. Again, thank you!

Sorry, double rely again. So,it turns out I was reading steep and mash as interchangeable. I planned on steeping the 2-row in a grain bag, up to 170° and then removing it. Reading into it, I’m understanding now, that’s going to do absolutely nothing. So, skipping that, should I just bring my...

okay, that definitely changes the plan then. I appreciate the insight.

Do you still get the hoppy flavor by only adding at the end? My understanding was doing it that way is for aroma, and boiling gets you flavor.

My plan is: 1g cold brew coffee 3 lbs caramelized orange blossom honey Boil the hops in the cold brew while the honey is caramelizing, and then dry hop again at the end of secondary. Then back sweetening with maple syrup. Any red flags with this idea? Tips from experience? I also kind of...
