I was planning on welding up a frame to mount a pulley to for hanging the bag. Speaking of... I should probably get around to doing that... It's been in the planning (thinking about it) stage for 6 months... :rolleyes:

I'll try to monitor the volumes and calculate my absorption. Now I need to fine tune my volume markings on my keggle.

Hey all, Im 4 brews deep into my BIAB life. A few questions popped into my head after struggling with boil volume and low OG (getting better with each brew). I use beer smith and was wondering how to input something to account for the extra volume after squeezing the grain bag? I feel this...

My brew day went alot better than it has the last three times I did BIAB. Believe my efficiency was around 75%. Just need to dial in my boil off rate a little better, and I think I've got it down. Also need to come up with a better way to squeeze the grain bag, as my wife's plastic strainer...

Thanks guys. Ill see how my efficiency is tomorrow after brew day. Milf testing hahahaha

Trying out my new corona (actually Victoria) mill. Is this too fine for BIAB?

Mash temp was right around 152 I believe for 60 minutes. I added the 5.5 lbs. Weyermann Pale Wheat malt and 4 lbs German Pilsner malt (which I ran through NB's mill twice) slowly while stirring it in. I had 4-1/4 gallons total between 2 kettles for dunk sparging. I had 4-1/2 gallons strike...

So I'm doing my third Brew in a bag after extract. I've had issues with efficiency and extracting all the sugars I needed to. I double-crossed the grains at Northern Brewer, sparged by dunking the bag into 2 kettles with about 2 gallons each , I squeezed The Living Daylights out of the grain...

I understood all that already, but now how do i figure out how much water additions to add to just the strike water?

Im trying to input everything for another brew into Beersmith. I cant figure out how to calculate water additions and water volumes for sparging with biab. How do I go about figuring this out?

Heres a screenshot of where the photos should be...

I didnt get a chsnce to jump on my computer to check.

Im still having image issues.... Ill try on my PC in a little while...

Perfect!!! Thanks a ton!

I get a box with a blurry picture and a red x through it
