I was back in Athens, GA last weekend when I bought the ingredients. By the way, if you're in Athens the "5 Points Growler" homebrew store on the Atlanta highway is fantastic.
Anyways... they crushed all the grain for me there, but only had the "Special Roast" in a one pound, pre-packaged bag. I didn't think to just go ahead and open it there and throw it in with the rest of the grain to be crushed.
Now I'm back home and my LHBS doesn't crush grain (they suck). They told em to put it in a ziplock and roll the grain to crush with a rolling pin. Will this work?
Also, what are your thoughts on just throwing in the whole pound vs. the .6 pounds the recipe calls for? I've never used this grain before and don't know what to expect.
Thanks in advance!
