Adding and Steeping Specialty Grains

Specialty grains add color, flavor and body to most of our beer kits. Here are a few things to remember when using them:

• Tie the muslin bag at the top so you don't compress the grains
• Steep between 140 and 160 degrees F
• Steep for 30 minutes
• Don't squeeze the bag when you're done, squeezing can extract tannins
• Use your spent grains in baking or for compost if you can
