Grain seep question

[Meatyboy]

In the middle of my first brew and something occurred to me. Should I have started seeping my grains while the water heats up to 150 or put the bag in when it hits 150?

It doesn't matter. Folks do it both ways. Also just an fyi, it's steep, not seep.

Thanks for your reply, and once I hit the submit button I realized that I neglected to add a t to seep...

Lol, avoid seepy grain.

I wondered the same thing when I did my first steep. I just added them to the water once they had reached the desired temperature and have always used that method. If you do that then get your water about 5 degrees over your optimum temperature because once you add the grains it will cool back down.

as long as you get your time at steeping temperature, it doesn't matter.
