Sure a partial mash is not much more complicated than steeping grains.
Still I would recommend making a full 5gal batch. If you can make an extract + grains 5gal batch you can make a partial mash 5gal batch. And 2.5 gallons goes much too fast.

I try to keep beers from several batches available in my store room and I always find myself looking for the second case of a good batch only to realize I am just finishing the second case. I've never really found myself wishing I had made less of beer.

Good points, I'd like to make this although I am purely extract brewing right now. This would be a good opportunity for me to gain some additional brewing experience. I am buying kegs this week, so can fill one of them up! Thanks for any help with the recipe conversion.

Does "Hops at 60" mean you add it at the beginning or the end?

It means at the beginning of the 60 minute boil.

Pretty good stout. Would have to say that I definately like it better after a few weeks in the keg. Not as bitter as some stouts. The oatmeal works well. Now I'm trying to figure out how to make a chocolate coffee stout that is as smooth as this. Good beer.

I have this fermenting right now in the primary. I didn't have willamette hops, I used some columbus, all I had, and used enough to get the same bittering level figuring that 60 mins will not provide any flavor anyway. Hopefully it will turn out ok.

My batch has been on gas for 1 wk, and is really a nice blend (as you
mentioned) without the harshness that normally smacks you in a stout.


Thanks

What is "batch sparging"?
I have heard this term before, and wanted to know if it's better.

just curious on what type of fermentation people saw on this one, i was bubbling like made the first day or so, now almost nothing...realize that's not a true indicator but just curious if others saw the same
