These grains were not added to the mash. Also, note the potential gravity and SRM contributions are reduced 50%. That is because the cold steep method gives about a 40-45% efficiency. In general, plan to double your typical addition for any cold steeped grains. Cold steep method: 1) Crush Grains 2) Mix with cool water (50 degrees or so), mix to typical mash thickness 3) Set for 4 hours - I used to set overnight, but dont think this is neccesary anymore, and may actauly give a smother flavor with the short rest. 4) Strain - use grain bags, or just a kitchen strainer 5) Add liquid at end of boil.
