Hello All!
First off, thanks for taking the time to read this thread. I have a few home brews under my belt now and feel very confident in extract brewing as well as partial mash brewing. However, I am not ready to tackle a full blown pro project like most of you guys do on a regular basis. However, I am in a pinch and could really use your help. My wife only drinks beer once a year during the later part of September up til Halloween night. This is because her favorite beer is St. Arnold's seasonal Oktoberfest. I want to convert a recipe I found here on this website into a partial mash. Unfortunately for me, the grain bill is from St. Arnold and it has commercial measurements and its all done from grains with no extracts. The bill is as follows:
1595 lbs of 2 row malt
550 lbs of Munich
220 lbs of Cara-Munich
Can this be turned into a 5 gallon partial mash? Can the 2 row be replaced with an extract with little difference in taste? If so what would the ratios be in your opinion? I could get her to drink more beer with me if she had her favorite beer on tab through January. Oh, by the way, I am using Czech Saaz and Hallertauer hops and WLP 833 yeast. THANKS AGAIN!
