I'm getting ready to make a stout and want to try cold steeping the dark grains for the first time. Based on what I've read, I'm going to double the amount of grains in the cold steep, do a 24 hour room temp steep, and add it to the last 10 minutes of the boil. How do I calculate the water additions and pH in Brunwater? Just calculate everything together, do two separate ones, or just ignore the dark grains and input everything else and adjust? If I include the dark grains in calculations, should I do the original amount or the double that I've read to use for cold steeping?
