The weather is turning colder and my thoughts are turning to AG brewing in the kitchen. That means returning to my stovetop and part boils in my 7.5 gallon turkey pot. I read another AG thread about brewers steeping dark grains rather than mashing them to reduce the harsh char taste. I plan to give this a try, to reduce char and also to thin out the mash and get as close to a full boil as possible. Please review the grain bill below and verify I have placed the grains in the correct categories.
Mash:
8 LB 2 row
1 LB L10
1 LB oats
Steep:
1.5 Lb pale chocolate
.2 LB roasted barley
Second question: the recipie calls for 1 LB lactose. Should that go in with the hops or at flameout?
