So I'm trying to formulate a partial mash recipe in BS3 and am confused. There is a total of 4 lbs of grains (3 types) and 4 1/2 lbs of DME.
I have TYPE in BS set to "partial mash"
If I set the grains to "mash" I get an estimated ABV of 4.8% @ 151F for 90 min
If I set the grains to "steep" I get an estimated ABV of 3.2% @ 149.8 for 90 min
In my mind steeping and mashing at similiar temps for the same times is in fact "mashing" Does BS3 have a different process for steeping?
So what am I missing here?
