I used to extract brew a lot. I stopped for a while because of other stuff in life going on. I am getting back into it and want to start back doing all grain. I have an old recipe that I liked and want to enter the data in and then convert it to an all-grain recipe. I have pretty much all my data and ingredients entered in including my specialty grains. I don't understand the methodology of entering the partial mash info.
Disclaimer: What I was doing back then may not even be considered partial mashing. I was just doing something the brew shop owner recommended and it turned out ok.
In a nutshell, while I was bringing my brew water to a boil I would heat two 1qt quantities of water. one quart was for sparging the grains and the other was for soaking the two 8oz quantities of specialty grains in a grain bag. I would bring the water to 170 and then take it off the heat and then soak the bag. After 20 minutes I would remove the bag and empty the pan into the kettle where I already had dumped my extracts. I would then sparge the bag over the kettle with the remaining quart of water.
My question is: Assuming I was actually doing something that is legit , how do I enter what I just described into the partial mash section of BeerSmith?
