No rice hulls, eh?

Why would you need rice hulls if you are partial mashing only 3lbs?

I like the grain bill. got any suggestions for other yeast (white labs prefererably)?

I mis-read it. I thought the extract was grains. My bad!

If you want to use White Labs, go with WLP-300. It's the equivelant of Wyeast 3068, but better imo. I used 3068 because by hbs doesn't carry white labs

What were your steps for everything? Temps? Days in primary? Days in secondary?

OP, you must be Deadhead?

Recipe looks good: I'll have to try it sometime.
