Steep specialty grains in 1 gal of “Heat 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water in the brewpot until it reaches 160° F (71° C) ± 10° F (6° C).
Immerse the grain bag in the pot for 30 minutes. The grain bag may be dunked and swirled like a teabag during this time to make sure that all of the grain is wetted. Moving it around will help improve the yield, but don’t squeeze and wring it, because that encourages bitter tannin extraction. Maintaining the temperature during the steep is not important.
After 30 minutes, remove the grain bag from the pot, and let it drain. Do not wring out every drop of wort.
Now you can add the malt extract and any additional water to the boiling pot to bring it up to the boiling volume.”
