Hey guys I really wanted to try an all grain out w/ my half ass setup...Im using a really sheer fabric to do a BIAB method using a large cooler as my mash tun...I'm just wondering how any of you that have used the Brew in a bag method would convert this recipe's instructions to BIAB friendly steps?

Pretty much just trying to figure out how some of you are doing mash out if you were to mash in a cooler instead of boil kettle *mines not big enough for all this grain* Should I just heat some water up a few degrees hotter then the mash out temp and pour it in after Saccharification?

Just wanted some help otherwise I'm going to stick w/ the instructions for BIAB and just do a 90 minute normal mash and hope it all comes out well...

Forget mash out. This is brew in a bag. Just do conversion, drain your bag for a few seconds, and throw in your sparge water. Just make sure you compensate by adding the water that would have been used for mash out to the sparge.
 
I have been reading a lot of the guys using BIAB are not even sparging and just doing a 90 min mash w/ all of the water used for the boil...every last drop...I was under the impression though that the sparge water temps are higher to get more out of the grain then what mashing at 152 can accomplish?
