When performing a no sparge brew, does one need to adjust the specialty malts as well, or just increase the amount of base malt for a typical recipe?

For smaller no sparges, I think it is jsut the base malt that gets adjusted.
I use what the recipe states. I did 2 barleywines using the partigyle method. Didnt change anything. I bumped up the gravity with some honey and malt extract, though. Would have used more grain, but I maxed out my MT.

I stopped the lauter about halfway through and stirred the dickens out of it.
I just hate when there are dickens in my beer.
After that I just ran off as always.

After a bit more research I found a nice no-sparge brewing calculator website in spreadsheet form that helps with the numbers. Looking forward to trying that with a low gravity beer soon. Can anyone say bitter?

Why are you bitter? Damn. Just tryin to help!
