I am working on recipes for full-boil extract brewing, and I thought I saw somewhere that the steeping of the specialty grains should be done in a smaller amount of water as opposed to the usual 2.5 gallons called for in the typical extract recipe. I thought it was somewhere around .9 gallons of water per pound of grain, or possibly less?
How much water should be used per pound of specialty grains? Can I steep my specialty grains in a smaller pot to more easily control the temperature, and start the remaining water in my larger pot to bring it up to temperature and then dump the wort from the smaller pot into the larger pot and start my boil?
Can someone please shed some light on this topic?
