Hopefully someone can hash this out with me.
I have some left over grain and extract that I want to use, to be specific 4lbs extra light DME and a mixture of cars pills, marris otter, and crystal grain that was given to me (by mixture I literally mean mixed in a jar). I have never done a partial mash before nor do I have any equipment for it; but I was wondering if it is even worth mashing the grains and mixing it with less of the DME? If so maybe I could use a a small cooler and strainer to mash with.
The real beginner question is how to tell if the grains are crushed? And if not do you have to have a grain mill to crush them?
The hops I plan to use are citra, Amarillo, and nugget. Let me know what your thoughts are please.
