So I just got my ingredients to do my first original IPA recipe and I have a slight problem with my grain. I ordered 1lb of Crystal 20L and 8oz of Carapils and asked for the grain to be "milled". Now I thought that meant they would crush the grain for me and ship it in a muslin bag for steeping...but what I have here is a big plastic bag of uncrushed grain. I suppose I am forced to do a mini-mash (which I have never done before) but doesn't the grain have to be crushed before it is mashed? What should I do with this bag of whole grain to get the best use out of it?
