Perhaps just some miscommunication with terminology. I’m not understanding why BIAB-AG would be like steeping more than mashing. Whether using a traditional AG setup or an AG BIaB setup, the goal is exactly the same. You’re holding a specific amount of grain and water at a specific...

I haven’t brewed anything bigger than 8% ABV, but now that I’m doing full volume mashed in a 10.5 gal kettle, could go higher. There’s a good “how much can I mash” calculator out there that would give you the max mash size for your kettle. Also, BIAB is AG, if using AG. I think PianoMan...

I will say my efficiency has dropped slightly since switching to full volume BIAB from the 2-step BIAB process, by about 5%. Probably due to the fact I was squeezing (really pressing on) the bag more aggressively previously and the extra rinse/sparge. Nothing a little bit of extra base grain...

Been BIAB’ng ever since going AG several years back. Started with a similar hybrid approach. 5 gal round cooler and just used the cheap HD/Lowe’s 5 g paint strainer bags, that fit just barely. 60 min mash, pulled bag and placed in a 2nd cooler or pot for 10 min batch/dunk sparge, then...

What the fork? Can’t say “****” without getting censored?

Happy New Year, @PianoMan !!

Boo. Spirits, and spooky moon and such.

I'm in McKinney as well, but haven't used tap. Typically go with Ozarka, with a combo of spring and RO (their reports are online, but comes from a handful of springs typically, so by no means perfect), and do minor additions and maybe some acidulated malt based off the basic water primer thread...
