As the title suggests I was steeping a relatively small amount of grains for 30 mins when I noticed part way through that it had been boiling. Not very violently but still a boil, not very long either perhaps 5 mins, 10 mins max. Now I know it's BAD to let the steeping grains boil but being my first time I just reduced the flame to let it settle down then continued with the tasks and addded the strained mixture as usual. I then read why it's bad to boil "a harsh, astringent, tannin-like taste and mouthfeel can ruin a whole batch of beer".
In your expierence, what's my likelyhood I've ruined it?
