While looking through recipes it appears that there are a couple of methods by which brewers like to steep their specialty grains. One way is to get the water up to about 168 deg., put the grains in, let it settle back to 150-160, cover and steep for 30 min. The other way is to put the grains in cold water, heat up to 150-160, cover and steep. Is this just personal preference, or is one method prefered over the other?
