Steeping grains (in mash)

[DMace]

So I have my first AG brew all set up. I just hit one snag when making my check list... I don't know where to put my crystal malt. Can I just add it to the mash with the 2-row? Or do I keep my mash separate and steep after my sparge is complete?

...or a third option would be to steep in my boiling kettle while my mash is resting in the MLT?

Thanks. This place is wonderful.

All the grains stay together. Grind them and mash them as one.

What he said. Thats the beauty of AG, you have one mash for all your grains thats it.

Nevermind.

Son of a bi...! I swear I read through 10 different threads looking for the answer. I guess I didn't enter the correct words in the search. I found this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/mashing-steeping-grains-127174/

Thankfully, the answer is to add all the grains together.

Thank you. I rarely ask questions anymore. They've all been asked a dozen times. You just have to find them in the search... which I had trouble finding.
