83% - wow!
I switched from extract to all-grain BIAB a few months ago, now I'm dialing it in. This working out well.
Granted, this batch was pretty easy - 4 lbs of two-row and 4 lbs of wheat. But, still, 83% is rockin for my little turkey fryer BIAB set up.
I mashed 8 lbs of grain in 6 gallons of water. Strike temp was 158, mash temp came down to 152. I let it sit for an hour and 15 minutes and lost 6 degrees over that period. Brought it up to 170 for ten minutes.
Then I pulled the bag and and let it drain over the kettle, twisting the bag tight to get out a lot of wort. Then placed it in a collander and pushed down on that bag with a pot lid to squeeze out some more wort.
I ended up with about 5.65 gallons of wort at 1.044 pre-boil gravity.
So glad I switched to BIAB....
