Hello all,
I do BIAB and I use about 8 gallons of water during the process. About 5 gallons for the mash and the remaining 3 added right before boil.
Should I treat all 8 gallons or just the 5 for the mash?
It seems like the mash treatment is most important and needs to be done for correct pH and conversion. The additional 3 gallons will mainly impact final flavor. Do I have this correct?
So for example I have a Dublin water profile and I only treat the 5 gallons of mash water and the remaining 3 gallons is RO. Then my mash is a Dublin profile and my final water profile is 5:3 Dublin/RO.
