I'm looking to make my first foray into mashing with a smoked stout partial mash. I'm looking to mimic BIAB style, with what is essentially a prolonged steeping in a bag and some sparging of the bag once it's drained. My goal is to make a smoky dry stout. I'd love any tips or feedback. I know that the water volume of my mash is high but I don't see how I can do BIAB style with only the recommend 4.5 quarts or so.
