HI, I've got a few brews under my belt, one AG, but due to time constraints the next few will be extracts. But, I'm curious on the effect of time on the steeping of the specialty grains. I've done a couple kits (a wheat beer and an IPA) and most recommended steeping for 30 mins. I just got an oatmeal stout kit from AHS, and I noticed the directions say to steep for 15 mins. I was curious as to why there is a difference? What would a longer or shorter steeping time do to the brew? Thanks!
