Rolled Up Irish Red: Second Brew

After the disaster that was my first brew, my second brew seemed to turn out well.  It's fermenting like crazy right now - already lost a good 1/2 gallon to fermentation.  I tweaked the recipe a tad between first and second brew, adding some pale malt to the steeping mixture and actually doing a partial mash instead of just steeping the grains.  Also, I made a starter with 2 packs of yeast this time around - no chances on that front!  If fermentation and color are any indication, this should be a pretty good brew!
