I've been doing recirculating eBIAB in a 24 qt Bayou kettle with basket for some time without issues but yesterday's brew stuck. I use a little 12V brown pump and never had to throttle down output but when the pump drew more from under basket than what drained back I tried throttling down the output and still happened. This was a big beer for a two gallon batch with 6.5 pounds of grain. Using the simple BIAB calculator for water amounts the mash in the basket with bag was thick like a standard mash. Since there is a gallon below the basket should that be added to strike water volume? Not sure what happened. The previous beer was a two gallon batch with only 3.5 pounds of grain and recirculated with no problems.
