I was just wondering if anyone has heard of this and opinions on it:

I'm moving to partial mash next batch and when I return to my hometown going all-grain. This seemed like a neat way to add an extra step in between there or make quicker all-grain batches.

I remember seeing it posted here around the first of the year or so. Do a search and see if the old thread shows up....

That's pretty much how I did my first few partial mashes, but with a smaller boil kettle. They all turned out fine. I don't see why you couldn't do all grain like that if you have a bigger kettle and a big enough bag, though I'm not sure how high your efficiency will be.

all that seems to be is a no sparge.

his efficiency probably would be in the 50's so he would have to up his grain bill.

Yeah, that's how I brew. It works well, and makes very good beer. If you have any specific questions, just ask

I do it occasionally and it works well. It's definitely a time saver. I actually get pretty decent efficiency using this method, usually between 70 and 75%. This is possibly because you can mill the grain very fine. I generally run it through my mill twice.

We recently had a baby, and my times that I can brew are very limited. When I get the chance to brew, I take full advantage of it and brew two beers at the same time. One with my "proper" AG system, and one with my brew in a bag system.

I've also worked on a method (using the bag) for small batch AG brews on the stovetop, which I did quite a few over the winter.

Thanks, Revvy! While 1 gallon AG batches might not be for everyone, I had fun doing them.

Yes, I've been using one for years. The Very Large Grain Bag method works quite well up to the point where the weight of the grain rips the bag. I have one designed for wine making & have used up to 12 pounds of grain. You can PM in your kettle and get very high efficiencies as well.
