Hello all,
First of all I just want to thank everyone on this site, it is fantastic and full of great info/people.
I'm a new brewer, and have been sticking to extract batches. I recently brewed BMs Cenentennial Blonde Extract Version. I was planning my next partial batch to be Ed's Haus Pale ale.
I want to know if i can do his mini mash instructions, except i dont have a working oven to store it at 150. Can I follow Deathbreweres instructions for his mini mashes?

Next,
I've never done a "yeast cake" Do i just pour the cooled wort on top of the yeast cake from the Cenentennial Blonde? (They are both Nottingham yeast) Also i used pellet hops un filtered so there will be some left over in the yeast cake. Wondering if that will affect flavor.
Lastly,
I dont have equipment enough to do the full 5gal boils. Ive been doing standard 1.5. Should i adjust my hop times? I've read i can keep the color lighter by adding DME later in the boil. If so, when and how much?
Thanks again, and Cheers!
