I just brewed my first batch of homebrew ever. I'm a total amateur so I was just trying to go off of books and videos that I've seen online. My understanding now is that I should have removed the grains after the 30 min boil @ 160 degrees, but I thought that you left the grains in for the entire brew process.
I boiled the barley for 30 mins, added the malt extracts and brought to a rolling boil, then followed the hopping schedule for an hour. I chilled the beer to 80 degrees, filtered it into a clean 5 gallon carboy and pitched the yeast into it.
Did I make a big mistake by not sparging/removing the barley grains after the 30 min boil?
Any help is most appreciated.
thanks
