===Steeping Grains===
Extract brewers often steep grains before the boil to add color, flavor and body to the beer. Unlike [[Mashing|mashing]], steeping does not add any fermentable sugars to the brew, but the addition of steeped grains can provide a large variety of flavors and colors to your extract brew. The steeping process is done before the boil. Grains are typically put in a steeping bag and immersed in the brewing water. The water is raised to 150-170 F and held for 30 minutes. The grain bag is then removed, and malts and hops added to the resulting tea to continue with the normal extract boiling process.
