Six Row in Mini-mash

Fri Apr 29, 2011 10:58 am

I am a partial mash brewer and I finally got my temp control set up to do lager brewing. I want to try a Pre-Prohibition American Pilsner and most of the recipes I am finding have 6-row as the base malt. How should I go about adjusting this to a partial extract batch? Will reducing the husk content in my mash throw off the body? And will I need to adjust the amount of maize or adjunct to compensate?

Don't they have a corn extract for brewing? You don't have to use 6-row malt for this beer, I just brewed it for NHC a while ago using 80% 2 row and 20% flaked corn.
