Steeping Pale Malt 2 row? - Page 3 - HomeBrewChatter.com Home Brew Forum

If I remember correctly the problem with steeping 2-row(and other grains that should be mashed) is the unconverted starches. The starches give a higher FG(?) and a cloudy beer.

that was the problem with mine. and in turn as the beer aged there were more off flavors...

I like partials cause i can't do large amounts of grains or big boils so i mash some base (2row whatever) with the specialty grains and then the majority of the base i use extract at boil. There some nuiances that change amount of hops ect.. but beersmith works that out for me so far.
