Just kidding! But I would appreciate that recipe from BYO and help coverting it to a mini-mash!
(in case you didn't notice, this was my feeble attempt at a bump)
Janx said:Funny that recipe calls for DME and LME...and added at different times no less...I wonder what subtle extract qualities they hope to achieve that way
Cheers
HurricaneFloyd said:Thanks for the recipe! :rockin:
Stupid question time, if the recipe has DME and LME in it, wouldn't that already be in partial mash form?
I'm headed out to the Weekend Brewer tomorrow to pick up the ingredients!
Janx said:LOL...I didn't even notice that...that there is one precise recipe!
Of course, I always weigh my grain to the 100th of a gram, personally. The beer will turn out undrinkable if you don't.
Cheers
Dude said:Nope. Partial mash is pretty much an all-grain recipe, you are just supplementing the grain with DME to get a decent OG.
Partial mashing is mostly for brewers who want to do AG but don't have the room for the equipment. You can do the partial mash in a pot on your stove/oven. I suggest you read up on it before you do it so you know what you are getting into. Palmer has a good section in his book.
The other question I have is that the recipe calls for some Munich malt. Will the munich convert from steeping the grains only? Does it even need to convert? I thought it did.HurricaneFloyd said:
Wow, I don't know why I'm not understanding this but...... the recipe you posted states 5 gal extract w/ grains. How is this any different than a partial mash? I've done 2 partial mash's so far and 2 batches with just steeping the grains and I realize there is a difference between mashing and steeping. I've read Palmer multiple times so I thought I knew what I was doing.
With that said, if I can't do a partial mash with this Avery New World Porter recipe, can anyone help me convert it so I can?
Thanks for the help, especially Dude!

Dude said:All this recipe is telling you to do is steep the grains.
Munich needs to convert, it is a base malt. If you steep it with some DME, it will convert--partially.
