It seems pretty frequently someone will post an extract + steeping recipe, and then someone will respond "those grains need to be mashed, not steeped". I get that certain grains require mashing in order to convert starches to sugars, but it surprises me how people are posting recipes from books, magazines, kits, etc. and then get this response.
Are these recipes from different sources "wrong"? Are you saying that if you mashed instead of steeped you'd get better tasting beer? Are you saying that steeping will leave off flavors or unpredictable results?
Thanks.
