Here's my situation. I've been part mashing for an hour, and it seems like nothing is actually happening - my wort is not sweet despite holding it at temp this whole time...
I'm making a brown ale, but if I don't achieve conversion (I have work in 3 hours,) I've calculated this my beer is still within all of the guidelines for a brown ale by adding 250g Light DME (which is the base of my beer) to make up the sugars I didn't manage to convert.
Would it differ greatly enough to matter if the 500g of Crystal Malt I'm mashing was essentially steeped instead of converted?
