#1) I'm looking at the possibility of getting into partial mashes. For starters, anyone have a great go to source on the internet for partial mashing. I've looked @ howtobrew.com and a couple other sites but it seems like mini mashing gets wrapped up into all grain...and because I dont have enough knowledge about it... I don't know where to cross the line between the 2.
#2) In terms of additional equipment for partial mash....do I only need a converted cooler? Will this pay for itself seeing that base grains are cheaper than LME? How many lbs of a base grain will I have to buy in order to have it equal to a standard 3.3lb can of LME....I just want to get a ballpark of how much $ I'd save per batch buy switching from extract to partial mash.
