I'm converting a recipe from all grain to partial mash. Speciality grain bill is at 2 lb right now, and I still have 5lbs of vienna malt to take care of, on top of that.
I've got some questions:
* What would people recommend as an extract (or blend of extracts) substitute for Vienna malt?
* How big would people recommend going for a partial mash? I assume throwing all the Vienna in the mash bag for a total of 7 lbs would be too much. Hence, I'm thinking of steeping 2.5 of the vienna (4.5lb total steeping) and substituting the rest for extract.
* Do I have to worry about steeping being less efficient than the traditional all-grain mash/sparge? Should I be adding some percentage extra when taking the all grain weights and putting them in the partial mash bag to be steeped?
Thanks!
