First-time poster here. Also my first time doing a partial mash. Bell's THA is one of my favorites, and I'd really like to brew a clone as warm weather approaches. I found the following recipe in an old thread (courtesy of shunoshi) and I was hoping to get an updated critique.
The OG and ABV are low for this beer, but it seems it was tweaked to compensate for a late extract addition. I plan to lower the mash temp to get closer to THA's 1064 OG, but I wasn't sure about that late extract addition. Also, I was thinking Wyeast 1056 would work fine for my purposes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
