When you BIAB do you mash in the full water volume, then raise the bag out.
Or do you mash in half the water, drain it, and add in the remaining water (liquor), let it sit for 10 minutes, and drain?
I get the impression for BIAB you let the bag sit in the full volume of water. But the instructions for a partial mash kit (which really is a mini-BIAB) suggest using half the water, drain, then add in the other half of the water, at close to 170F for 10 minutes.
I assume that the bag continues to drip for a while, so you can add the dripping to the boil. While you don't wnat to damage your bag, would it be worth while to make some kind of press to squeeze the extra liquid from teh grains? Or will the drippings be good enough?
