If you want to try to extract the sugars from the steeping grains try steeping them at 155 degrees with 1 and a half quart of water per pound of steeping grain. This should give you a small part of their sugars. This is the start of what is called a Mini mash. To do a mini mash you would have a lb of base malt such as 2 row to provide more enzymes to help pull the sugars out and make the convertable. What I described should provide 10% to 30% of the sugars from the steeping grains. you can taste the sweetness of the steeping grains water. Go ahead and sparge the steeping grains with a quart of water to the lb to help extranct as much as possible.
