First BIAB, first AG. Process went smoothly, save for having to boil down for TWO HOURS because I grossly overestimated the amount of necessary sparge water. Beersmith is telling me I still hit 72.5%.
Just went in the bottle today. It's going to be a loooooong 21 days, judging by how insanely good the test sample tasted.

Looks pretty dark going in, but when one of the bottles caught the sun it was glowing.
