You can do it on the stove, or in the oven if prefer. You can put all the grains in one bag (loosely, though, so use a big grain bag). Bring a pot of water with the required amount of water (3 quarts for 2 pounds of grain is good) to 155 or so, and dunk the grains in it, like a tea bag. Make sure all the grains are wetted all the way through, and that the temperature stays right about 153 or so. Put the lid on the pot, and then set a timer for 45 minutes. Check it often, making sure the temperature stays over 150. If it starts to drop, you can turn the heat back on (not too high!) to bring it back up. Don't go over 155, though. You can dunk the grains often like a tea bag. After the timer goes off, use a strainer and lift the grains out and put them in the strainer over your pot. Pour 170 degree water (about a gallon) over the grains to rinse them thoroughly. That's it!
That's it- that's a partial mash.
