I use a BIAB system.
Have a 5 gallon cooler as a mash tun, and only a 5.5 gallon kettle.
Usually can only mash/sparge about 6 or 7 lbs. of grain without overfilling the kettle.
My question is, in order to mash more base grains (and adjuncts for some recipes), can I leave out any caramel/specialty grains from the mash and then once I've filled the kettle with 1st and 2nd runnings steep my specialty grains?
Should work, right?
