I'm getting ready to do a BIAB for a few friends while my brewstand is being complete, and I'd like to hit my numbers as closely as possible.
Does anyone know the volume lost by removing the grain? Obviously it depends on the amount of grain, but does anyone have idea what the ounces of wort lost per pound of grain is? That would help me figure out how much I'll need in my kettle to start out.
Also, I've seen that some people put the grain in a bucket to allow it to drain a little more while they bring their wort to a boil. Does anyone sparge a gallon or so of water through there to help get some of the sugars? It just seems like such a waste.
