Suggested extract/partial mash recipe: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/438554-post111.html

I have a mini MLT (2 gallon) which fits 5 lbs. of grain perfectly. Looks that recipe has just over 4 lbs. That leaves extra room to sub some of the extract for a suitable base malt; in this case looks like that would be some UK 2-Row.

I, like Brewing Clamper, am concerned with having enough enzymes for sugar conversion. I figure it can't hurt to throw some 2-Row in.

ah, I'm not exactly ready to do a mini mash yet. I need a hand with an extract/steep recipie

Steep the specialties. Don't worry about convertion, the grains are roasted, burnt and/or carmalized already, there isn't anything to convert anyway! If you have to do a partial boil, why not split the extract into two batches, add 1/2 the hop schedule each and combine them in the end? You would get close to a full boil that way. But I don't know, I haven't extracted in 25 years!

Man, I am looking forward to this. I will be doing a 20 gallon batch I think!

Holy Crap! I just stumbled on this thread and I am glad I did. I'm in for brewing on the first day of the year! I will step up to my first ten gallon batch with this too.
BP Rocks!

I will be brewing this recipe sometime this winter (can't guarantee 1-1-08 at this time). Looks like a real winner and RIS is one of my favorite styles. I'd like to participate in the beer swap but I'm a newbie brewer and I will using a considerable amount of extract to account for my 12# grain mash limit, so I would hate to send some brewers my so-so RIS in exchange for their awesome brews.

Sounds....tasty! I may just have to give this a brew, but goodness knows it's gonna be a hard time keeping myself outta this for the better part of a year...

The best way to achieve this is to brew enough to keep your mind off it!

That's the only way my recent Winter Ale survived 4 months without drinking. Gotta keep the beer supply up!

I'm going to close this thread temporarily.
1) I want to break off the exchange from the recipe thread and include links to it.
2) As this is a group exchange, I need to get the policy reviewed. This may be a case where we do a Supporting Members exchange and allow other members to do one as well on a one-on-one basis.

Reopened: Lets keep this thread for the recipe and recipe questions.
The official exchange thread is here:

I've come across one small issue with this recipe now...hops. I can't seem to find any Horizon hops in stock anywhere. Has anyone else had any success finding some?
