Hi there, hoping this is an easy one. Background on the recipe: I got a MoreBeer Belgian LME kit on sale for $20 (cant pass that up) and was going to use it as a base for making a holiday Belgian Jackolantern Ale (pumpkin). From some others previous recipes, some recommended to steep the pumpkin initially. I haven't made up my mind whether or not i just want to steep or just add to the boil, but found something weird. When you add a new ingredient of type "Miscellaneous" it can not be added to steep.
Note: I don't want to go down the rabbit hole of whether or not I should steep vs boil pumpkin, but would rather figure out the Misc Ingredient to the initial steeping stage. I can foresee possibly in the future i may have another spice or something I would want to steep with some carafa II and would have the same issue. Also i thought it had to do with the fact that I built it around LME, however, as soon as I added some carafa II for the color, the carafa instantly added to steeping in my brew steps.
So how would one add an ingredient (misc) to steep? It appears you can only steep ingredients which are of type "grain."
