After a fortunate misunderstanding in the ordering process, I am now making my first partial mash. Having helped with batches before but never ordered, I was under the impression that the term for the extract kits which happened to have 12 oz or so of grains was Partial Mash. I now know that I was wrong. Oh well. *Sip, Sip* It's in the direction I want to be anyways.
I hope I'm doing this right. The recipe says to steep for 45-75 minutes. Instead of doing it over the burner, then straining with collander and rinsing said collander, I'm using my modified 5 gallon round cooler for all of that. I figure from what I've read about AG that I should start practicing.
I have a Bavarian Yeast slap pack which doesn't seem to be doing anything yet. If all else fails I have a pack of dry bavarian.
I also purchased some irish moss today, so we'll see how that goes. Right now the average floor temp of my basement is around 70 degrees. So I'll be trying out the tub-of-water-with-frozen-water-bottle technique.
