On the original recipe, how much water did you use for the BIAB phase? I find that if I start with anything less than 7 gallons pre-boil, I'm not going to end up with 5.5 gallons at the end.
I'm planning on doing a partial boil for this recipe this week, and was wondering what everyone has been using for their fermenting chambers? I've got a 6.5 gal bucket, but part of me wants to say that's not going to be big enough for a 6 gal batch.
Good stuff man! I too have been thinking about brewing up a Cream Ale. Do you think the secondary is really necessary though? Or did you just want to use it to add flavors?
