This question comes mainly from how I see recipes presented. Often I'll see an extract with grain recipe presented where they tell you to steep the grains, obviously. They will also often give you an all grain version where you are told to simply replace the extract with a certain amount of base grain. I often don't see any adjustments to the steeping (specialty) grains nor am I told to do anything else them.
I'm guessing they just assume that all grain brewers will know to take the specialty grains and mash them with the base grain but it got me wondering. What would happen if I only mashed the base grain and steeped the specialty grains the way extract brewers do?
Just curious
