I am going to be brewing an amber ale this weekend. In the past I didn't steep the specialty grains, I just mixed them together with the base grains and mashed. Until the first time I used chocolate malt. It made an off flavor and I wasn't satisfied with the color. Now I understand the importance of steeping the specialty grains. From everything I gathered it sounds like I need to add the bag of specialty grains to 160 water for roughly 30 minutes. Remove the bag of grains... This is the part where I get lost. Do I add the wort to grains that are in the mashtun? Or do I dump it into the boil kettle during the boil? I want to get this one right. Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks
