Hello, I am relativly new to brewing. I was wondering which grains that get steeped need to be crushed or do all of them? I have some Black Patent, Chocolate, Special B, CaraRed, Crystal 40, and crystal 15 on order along with 25lbs of LME and 6lbs of WME and a bunch of hops/yeast. What grains do I need to crush?
also, I am making a stout using "Homebrew formulator" for my mac, and plan on adding .75lbs of oats to the steep. I remember reading that oats need to be steeped with some extract or sugar to work properly. Is this true, Please explain! I am gonna add some brown sugar to the recipe, will this work to steep the grains with?
