This is the second recipe that I have designed. The first is in secondary and so far, so good. I'm brewing this on National Home Brew Day as part of a group brew. This is my first attempt at a partial mash. It is my understanding that I can get conversion on the smoked malt if I steep all the grains in 9 qts of water at 150-155 for an hour. I than planning on sparging with two cups of water at 160. Not sure if this is right. Also, I have never used Special B and was wondering if 1/2 an ounce is too much. I've heard it is powerful stuff, but at 4.44 percent of the grain bill can it overpower the other flavors? I plan on fermenting this in primary for a week, secondary for two weeks and bottle condition until fall. Any and all feedback is much appreciated.
