I don't think either has a particular limit. Some BIAB guys don't get great efficiency, but I've heard others do. Sparging methods are key. Use enough sparge water, stir, and get all of the wort out...

Probably don't have to run the heated dry. Most have the option to turn it on/off.

If you want to do a bigger sparge, just heat the sparge water in the larger pot (say, 4 gallons), then dunk your grain in there and stir it, then pull it out, squeeze, discard. Then drain your cooler...

I did that for several batches before going full-on 3 vessel. Heck, I even used a bucket to mash with so I could heat sparge water in the one large pot I had. It's a fine plan.

You'll be fine. You can put it in a water bath with a towel over it and a fan blowing on it, that is a good way to drop it a few degrees during the day, but not drastically.

34 degrees celsius? Sounds fine. Wait 3-4 days before jumping the gun on the fermentation starting.

Look at your grain. Some is smaller kernels than others. Keep checking your crush. You want ZERO uncracked or even remotely whole kernels. All you need is a good bit of husk material to create the...

Viability decreases over time, but I know of brewers who've used 6mo. old yeast. I'd consider viability to be very low at that point, maybe 5-10%. Probably worth making a starter by then.

You can also pitch into less wort and then combine the unpitched wort together with it after 24-48 hours. For instance if you have half the needed cells, pitch into half the batch and keep the other...

Difference is 37b cells after 2 stepped-up starters. Goes from needing a 1.5 and 3L starter to needing two 3L starters.

stir plate? Using the K.Troester method, yeastcalc says a 2L stir-plate starter beginning with 8.75b cells would yield 290b cells, and you'd need 242 for 5g of 1.070 ale.

I'm in TJ Maxx with my wife and I see these huge clear glass vases and I'm thinking, "I wonder how big of a starter I could make in that...5L? I mean, they're only $10!"
