I've read that the steeping grains don't add much, if any, fermentables. They obviously add color. But how much impact do they have on flavor?
And on the flavor theme, to get more a caramel malty flavor, better to use less grains of a higher lovibond or more grains of a lesser? and is it linear? Like 1/2 pound of 80L = 1 pound of 40L?
(I know every brew is different, just looking for a rule of thumb)
