I've been doing BIAB a lot recently and that looks about like my crush. Of course, you don't have to worry about a stuck sparge with BIAB, so you can afford a finer crush.

I had a mash where I fell significantly short on target OG. I found out later it was most likely due to temp loss. I wasn't watching and the temp had dropped from 153 to 135. Not sure how long it...

You'll either have more beers with a lower OG, or fewer beers with a higher OG. Did you get the OG you were shooting for? If so, you should probably just leave it. If you ended up high then a little...

Sorry. I misread your question. To convert this recipe to extract you would want to use 50/50 light dry malt extract and wheat malt extract. To get the 1.072 OG in a 5 gallon batch then you need to...

Advanced Beginner Question. Huh?

Let's say I brew the same beer two times. The only difference is that the first batch has an OG of 1.070 and an FG of 1.018. The second batch has an OG of 1.060 and an FG of 1.008 (Let's say for...

I believe it is best to cool the wort as quickly as possible, though there are those who swear by their no-chill method (I think that just means sealing the carboy and letting the wort cool naturally...

I've heard of folks who make a starter the night before they brew. I think the bottom line is that a starter increases the yeast cell count, and it gets them in the mood to chew wort. It probably...

Often when adding pure sugar it is recommended to add to the fermenter at the tail end of fermentation. This is because the yeast will go for the least complex sugars first. If there is brown sugar...

Higher temps can have a tendency to speed up fermentation a bit. Maybe it's done. What was to OG and how long has it been going?

You don't need to sanitize hops. You can look this up for yourself on many independent sources. If you use a bag you should sanitize the bag in something like Starsan.

I don't think you'll have to worry about cloudiness. Any sediment should settle in the fermenter. They say that squeezing the bag will result in unwanted tannins, though. But then BIAB brewers always...
