Stupid question
I've been brewing exclusively from kits, and I'm about to do my first from a recipe this weekend. Here's my (hopefully not too dumbass) question: If the recipe calls for German 2-row Pils, do I need to mill that, or does it go straight in the muslin bag like a crystal malt?

Ok, here goes, YES, you must mill / crush / grind / smash or what ever have you. If you do not mill your grain (this goes for all grains) the core kernels will not get utilized. Be careful how you grind / mill your grain. Hopefully your HBS (homebrew supplier) can do this for you, or you have access to a grain mill. I personally use a Corona grain mill and it works great, good luck exploring the next step towards euphoria
