Hey everyone, have 2 successful brews under my belt. First one was a 1 gallon Brooklyn Brewshop kit, that turned out great. I did that one as per the instructions, which is essentially a traditional separate mash and sparge process.
I have since invested in a 2.5 BIAB setup. Before I start brewing my own recipes, I still have an additional BBS 1 gallon kit sitting around waiting to be brewed ( I bought it along with my initial BBS kit as they were on sale). It's an everyday IPA.
I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to convert the recipe to a 1gal BIAB.
For the BBS instructions, it says to heat 2.5 quarts to 160f, mash for 60mins, then sparge with an additional 4 quarts of water at 170f. Pre-boil volume says to be 5 quarts.
I'm wondering what volume of water and temp I need pre-mash if I wanted to brew this kit BIAB, as there would be no separate sparge process.
Thanks in advance.
(PS. Going to be investing in BeerSmith soon !)
