Brewing Question

The grain husks are supposed to have tannins that might get extracted during a boil. However, for the quantity of grain and the short length of time of the boiling, I doubt you'll be able to tell it.

Tannin astringency will soften with age (ie. months in the bottle).

Anyway... many of the older brewing texts instruct you to boil the grains anyway... so it is at least a debatable practice.
