This is my first partial so I'm righting out steps and checklists to guide me on the first one. I just have a few questions about how this information translates into the certain actions.
So for the second step. I saw partial mash pictorial so I know that first I mash the grains in the bag in one pot, I just don't know how much water to put into the mashing pot and the sparging pot. It says volume boiled is three gallons. So that has to be split up somehow between the pots, is it a 2 gal/1gal or should they be even?
I was also unsure about what to do for dry hopping. Do I put the whole hops in a sanitized grain bag and toss it in the primary or do I wait for my FG to reach ~1.019 and then transfer to a secondary, throw some hops in and let it sit for a while?

Review: Excellent. Loved the Simcoe hops. Very "craft Brew" taste. Need to let rest for at least 4wks after kegging (I force carbonated). Could add a touch more of the smoked malt to give more of the cask flavor. Drops clear after a month. May try Dry hop with Simcoe rather than Cascade on next batch.
