I understand the different processes of steeping and partial mashing, so a question:
When you steep, and you get starches (instead of sugar when mashing) - what happens to the starches? Do the starches remain unfermented and end up giving flavor to the ale?
Some of my steeped beers have a bit of a sweetly taste I do not like. I was thinking maybe starch is doing this and a partial mash will fix this unwanted sweetly taste.
