Awesome write up. I am trying to verify what I have read. I just purchased a few kits from AHB (mini-mash) and was going to follow your steps.
The Nut Brown I have only has 2.5lbs of grains to mash, so then would I only need 3.125 quarts of water? Sure doesn't seem like enough? And then...
Thanks.
This recipe does have me considering the thoughts of building a 10g MLT or following the Easy Partial Mashing method. Maybe it is time to step towards PM and AG.
Ha...I've search the entire thread and have only come across the AG and PM recipes. Still being a newbie, I have not stepped into the PM world and I am still trying to figure out the AG to extract conversions.
Looking forward to working with this kit and one day tasting the Nut Brown ale.
Very nice and you don't have to worry about crashing a glass carboy. About to pull a lager out of the fridge and then I will let you know how cleaning goes.

I seem to have the same issue as you. My beer tastes good, looks good, has good carbonation, but not enough mass / body / etc.
Did you end up mashing the Carapalis or Oats in another batch? How did it go?
