Peated malt--steep or mash?

[MrSnacks]

I'm making a HOTD Adam clone tomorrow and I'd like to add the peated malt in a pretty controlled way. Ideally I'd steep the peated malt separately from the main mash and add it to the boil in gradual amounts. Does anyone know if peated malt can be cold steeped overnight or should I do a minimash with a pound or two of two row?

I would assume it's a peated two-row. Go with a mini-mash.

You can cold steep it. If you have never used it before, be very careful it can easily ruin a beer. The few times I have used it, I have cold steeped it and added at kegging so I could adjust the amount to taste.

Yeah, I'm starting with half the amount the recipe calls for and even then I'm going to add it incrementally.

1% of the grist and mash it. You can always add more next time...you can't take it out.

How did this turn out?
