I'm brewing an extract kit from NB after 20 yrs of all-grain--there was a sale I couldn't pass up. I need to steep 1lb of flaked oats in 2.5 gal of water. I have RO water at home--do I need to treat the 2.5 gallons of water for steeping?
the recipe calls for a 30-minute boil of the 2.5 gallons of steeping water, with the only hop addition a 20-minute hop stand. I have a 10-gallon boil kettle. is there any advantage to a full volume boil as far as the hop utilization during the hop stand?
thanks
