I've heard of people doing mini mash and partial mash. I always thought they were interchangeable terms for the same activity. But the other day I stumbled across someone who said "this works well for both partial mash and mini mash batches".
Is there a difference between the two, or are they synonymous?

No difference in my book. Just synonyms to describe the same thing.
My understanding is that a mini-mash is the process of using a small amount of 2-row to alter the fermentability of extract. While a partial mash is simply using a mash for a percentage of your OG.
But when I searched the net before answering this question, it seems that I was wrong -- 'mini-mash' and 'partial-mash' are used interchangeably. There may have been a distinction at one point, but not anymore.
