Since I don't have the equipment for all-grain, or the means to buy the equipment yet, I am trying my first all-grain as a BIAB. I've read a lot of the threads on BIAB, but I have a question about the recipe in Beersmith.
When I enter it as an All-Grain recipe, I then select the Single Infusion, Full Body choice under Mash Profile. I then get a Mash In and Mash Out description. My question is this (as I am a total noob at all-grain terminology): when Beersmith tells me for Mash In to "add x qts. of water at y degrees" then has a step temp 10 degrees lower, does that mean I hit the grain with the initial water at y degrees then let it drop and hold it at the step temp for the allotted time? Thanks for answering a question that is probably obvious to most everyone else.
