NTRabbit wrote:Yes i meant to say steeped not boiled, and my malt grains are definitely not cracked.
Mortar and Pestle it is then!
I think i need to steep it for 10 minutes, the remove the grainsock and boil it another 5 before adding it to the wort, is that about right?

i'd suggest the 'dogger' method then - slowly bring your water, with the grainbag in it, to the boil.. removing the bag before it boils.. & making sure you don't rest it on the bottom of the pot
