    Super newb questions here:

    The "mini-mash" is steeping the grains, right? How long should I steep the grains, and at what suggested temperature.

    How important is water profile to this beer? Would using distilled water make a big difference?

    the mini mash would actually consist of taking all the specialty grains and oats and mashing them at like 150-153 for around 30 minutes or so... make sure you monitor your temp and keep it in that range. Distilled water is a good idea, that's what I used.

    So did anyone finish this? I'd love to see some pictures, or a write up.
