hello again.
i want to make a wheat beer, with extract (LME wheat + LME light) + hops boiled at 45 mins, 30 mins and 15 mins for bitterness aroma and flavour (hallertau), im unsure if i will add corriander or orange peel, but i would like to steep some grain malt for more flavour etc to give it a try and see if i can turn out something better than i have before. I have been told by a few kind people on this forum that this is easy enough for a 1st attempt at using the grains for the 1st time. i have a few questions though regarding this;
1) anyone know a list of malts that can be just steeped then sparged?
2) what characteristics do each of the ones that can be steeped add? which goes with wheat beer usually, what goes with ales etc etc?
3) what quantities are we talking adding to a brew of 19L eg, minimum to be able to taste it, and max you would ever put in!
also i read that you dont ever bring it to the boil as that ruins it? is that correct or what?
thanks so much!
