I am doing an all grain batch today. My plan is to do the mash this morning and the boil this afternoon; I have two kids to ferry around to a bunch of activities all day and can't dedicate an unbroken block of time to brewing.
I notice that I am out of crystal and plan to pick some up while doing the afore-mentioned kid ferrying. I'd like to mash the rest of the grains this morning and steep the crystal later. I realize this might change my OG a bit but I'm not picky about that.
How do I note that this ingredient will be steeped, not mashed? Not having that pound of grain in the mash will affect my water volumes. I can wing it and adjust the volumes by adding a bit of water later if necessary but I'd prefer to have documented in the recipe. Is this possible?
