I've been looking at some recipies to try (mostly extracts with steeping grains). Most of them call for steeping in the full 5 gallons, and then boiling and adding extracts. I don't think my brewpot can handle a full 5 gallons (I have always done partial boils then added to cooled water in the primary).
Are there any changes/issues I need to make/be aware of when steeping in 3 gallons (instead of the whole 5) and using this for the boil?
PS - I'm not sure if my recipie is a true extract+ or a mini-mash as it calls for steeping 2 lb flaked wheat at 155 degrees for 60 minutes (does this add any sugar or is it just for body/color/feel?).
