Hey guys,
I'm doing my first AG using BIAB. I used 7.8 gallons of strike water and mashed #15 for an hour. This is for a 5 gallon recipe calling for a 60 minute boil.
After pulling the bag I squeezed 1+ gallons out of the spent grains - so now I have 7 gallons of wort, pre-boil.
How should I handle this - should I start my hopping as soon as I reach a rolling boil, or should I boil off to 6 gallons and then start hopping for the 60 minute boil?
I'm on new equipment so I'm assuming 1 gal/hr boil off/evaporation.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
MF
