2 row malt in an extract

[susitna4]

I've noticed BYO magazine recipes often call for 2-row in extract recipes - usually a pound or so. I thought 2 row was only for mashing and not a good steeping grain. They do specify to steep for 45 minutes. Is this more like a partial mash?

Yup. This is a partial mash.

Are there other grains involved or JUST 2-row?

A pound of 2-row will increase the amount of sugar extracted from many specialty grains. They'll almost always specify a steeping temperature around 150-155F. So, it's really a PM.

1 lb 2-row, 1 lb crystal, then 5.8 lbs extract. It is their sierra nevada pale clone.

They say to steep at 150 for 45 minutes.

Also, their fuller's esb clone calls for 1 lb of english pale ale malt also to steep for 45 minutes. I'm guessing this is also a partial mash?

Thanks for your answers.
