one Partial does not make me a Partial Masher, but here's my 2bobs.
i think the easiest road is to start steeping some spec grains to get the feel for it.
then read, read, read, ask questions, google everything you can, soak it all up.
Assess your equipment, can it handle what you want to do ?
If it can, go from there but imo keep it simple for your first attempt.
There's quite a few members here that helped me out.
search 'Partial' and 'Grain' here for heaps of info.
cheers
