I got a recipe from my HBS for a Pale Ale. It calls for Crystal Malt to be steeped 30 min. The recipe does't state the temperature. The recipe:
6.5 Pale Malt Extract
1# 10L Crystal Malt
1/2 oz Columbus 60min (rec called for Centennial but HBS was out)
1oz Cascade 15 min
1oz Cascade 0 min
Yeast Safale US56
BTW, I wanted something like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and this is the recipe they gave me.
What temp do I steep at? do I start the grain steeping cold and bring to temp or bring water to temp put grain in and then turn the heat off? I want to brew tomorrow (Sun) so would appreciate advice.
Another question: I have a choice of using RO water (w/ gypsum?) or Eldorado Springs spring water. I'm definitely leaning toward the spring water which came straight out of the spring (only filtered)
