I'm going to give BIAB a try but I have a question about water volumes. I've read that most people say to start off with your full volume of water right from the start when you do your mash.
The only thing is, doesn't this give you a very watery mash? I have read that too thin a mash kills efficiency. If you are using a method that tends to have efficiency issues, why not use less water up front then add more after the mash is done?
Just wondering if anyone has an answer to this or if I am not understanding the process.
