Ok, I have about ten extract w/ steeping grain batches under my belt. I thought I would step up to the next level but now understand that partial mash is basically glorified steeping. So I have ordered all applicable items (bigger pot, propane burner, copper for IC and 10 gallon cooler) for AG.
Just prior to that I also (like an idiot) ordered three extract kits from AHS.
I am going to purchase the extra grains to bring those to a mini-mash recipe. Already in the works.
My question is I would like to get used to full boils, so would doing a full boil with the partial mash recipe throw off the hop utilization or am I ok? It would be the difference of boiling with ~3 gallons v. ~6 gallons with the same amount of hops?
Anyone?
Thanks and I hope the weather in your corner was as nice as in Seattle today,
