So my last two batches have used grains for steeping, and I've found myself asking these questions each time. Figured it was about time I take it to you guys.
Is it ok to let the grain bag sink to the bottom of the kettle, or should I tie it up to the handle to keep it off the bottom? I've done a little of both during both of my batches.
During the steeping and/or at the end, should I press the grain bag at all or just leave it be? I feel like pressing it will get more of the liquid out, but it also allows more of the grains to escape the bag.
Thanks!
