Hi, I worked up a partial mash version of this in BeerSmith. Just wondering what BM or any of you that have brewed this a few times thought. The only other PM I have done was an Irish Red kit from Northern Brewer. It will also be the trial run of my 3gal. MLT I built. Any and all help/suggestions welcome! This is based on 3.75 gal boil with late extract addition to keep IBU's in range. Also, I have 3# of Briess Pilsen DME already, would this be an acceptable replace for the 2row or should I buy some Extra Light DME. The OG is a hair higher than original recipe but I do not know what kind of efficiency I am going to end up with. Fudged a little in case my efficiency sucks.
