First BIAB not getting off to a great start. Even with 50 batches done in the cooler... once you change your process you can't take anything for granted.
For example: Although the online calculators estimate that 8.5 gallons of water and 14lbs of grist should fill 9.63 gallons of kettle... it actually took up a little over 10 gallons of kettle. Guess who has a 10 gallon kettle? #making_a_mess
Now I am just trusting that the high mash-in temp will hold enough for conversion over 60 minutes because I don't want to open that mess up again anytime soon.
Mash out should be fun. I'll keep you posted.
