I brew extract all the time. In a rush to get ingredients I pulled two all grain recipes from this wonderful site. I converted part of the grain bill to extract but FAILED to remember that Two Row isn't a specialty grain that can be steeped.
I've read about partial mashing in the past 12 hours so I know all is not but I'm hesitant to try it.
So one recipe will have 8.25 lbs of two row with other specialty grains. The grains were milled yesterday at my LHBS and are all mixed in the same bag. The reason I'm hesitant to just follow partial mash instructions is that most only call for 2lbs of grain.
I don't see why I couldn't use 8 lbs but I wonder if it will mess the recipe I was trying to make.
After I mash I plan on doing the boil and adding the extract at flame out.
I'm either going to try it this way(I know a beer will result maybe just not the one I initially wanted) or toss the grains and buy an extra 6 lbs of extract.
Any advice is appreciated
