Yes, as the berries were thawing I put them in a colander (sanitized) and lightly sprayed them with star san. Then tossed them a little to spread it all around and rinsed with a little spring water I bought. Then mashed them up in my brew pot (also sanitized) and poured them in the carboy. I had...

Did you add the berries in secondary? How long did you let it sit before bottling? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Any idea what kind of grains I could substitute for the LME? My local shop only sells that stuff in 30 pound jugs and I'm not looking to spend $60 for a jug I probably won't ever finish. I'm new to this too, this will only be my 2nd brew.

I know this post is pretty old, but if you see this could you help me out with some advice for the recipe as a partial mash? I've read that the general rule is to use 2/3 the amount of grains as a DME but I'm not sure which grains to switch out (if it even matters). This is my first batch...
