Too little grain for a PM?

[pig140]

Is 2lbs of grain too little for a partial mash? It's for a 5 gallon batch. 1 pound is specialty grain and the other is Maris Otter. The rest is 1.5 lbs of DME and 3.3 lbs of LME. I was planning on brewing this weekend and don't have a LHBS.

No. Just use a smaller kettle for the mash with about 3 quarts of water. The smaller kettle will have a smaller head space & help maintain temp. Wrap it up in something to keep the heat in.

Perfect! Thanks!
