My question relates to efficiency of different methods.
From my reading, there seems to be predominantly 3 BIAB methods employed.
1. Mash for 60mins in lower volumes of water much like conventional 3V brewing then dunk sparge for 10 mins in separate vessel with the balance of the water.
2. Dispense with the sparge completely and just mash in the full volume of water for around 90mins.
3. Mash in full volume of water for 60mins then do a mash out at say 170°F for 10mins.
Obviously if one has size of pot restraints they may choose method 1. above.
Is efficiency the only likely difference?
Which is likely to consistently produce the better efficiency?
