Noob resource?

Is there a thread that explains the vocab and the "why" of partial-mash brewing? I've read Deathbrewer's sticky on the beginner board...but...

- what is sparge, mash, conversion (and how do you measure), strike?
- is the advantage of PM brewing a better tasting beer?

I'm sure something exists, and just can't find it, although I've looked...

Hello,

have you checked http://www.howtobrew.com ?

They do not have a section dedicated to partial mash, but partial mash is not much different from extract+specialty grain.
All the vocabulary is explained in there.

Awesome. Exactly the kind of detailed info I was looking for, thank you.

and the actual printed book....even better.

Hell during my tour of Boulevard in Kansas City, I saw this sitting in their library right next to the high-end 'textbook style' books related to commercial brewing and science.
