Hi all,

I going to using the below recipe (stovepipe porter clone), but adding and partial mashing (for the first time) 4 oz of cherry smoked malt. Do I need to reduce any of the other ingredients in order to add the smoked malt? I was told to mash at 160 degrees but how long and with how much water? Lastly, I am under the impression that I add all the specialty grains with the smoked malt when I am mashing, is that correct?

Thanks a lot!

Jeff
