I am working on formulating my first recipe for my first all grain brew. We have decided to go with the BIAB method because it seems to be the most straight forward way of brewing all grain. I have used BeerSmith2 to formulate the recipe and was wondering what your thoughts are? Any advice on the grain bill, mash details, yeast, hop additions, boil time, etc. is appreciated. The amount of grain seems unusually high compared to other recipes i have read but I am guessing our efficiency will be low so I am trying to compensate for that.
