What really is the difference between BIAB and AGB? Or rather, correct me if I am wrong with my assessment of the two:
BIAB: Use a single large kettle with a bag in which you create a mash with grains or mash with partial grains/partial malt extract. Go through the "mash" process...then use the bag to remove the spent grains leaving the wort behind. Boil, then ferment, then bottle.
AGB: Use one kettle/cooler for mash. Empty some of the extract out and pour over mash to use the grain bed to clear the extract. Once clear, tap off into a 2nd kettle for boiling.
Boil, then ferment, then bottle.
Am I missing something here? If I am not, then please explain why someone would go through the extra work and the need to purchasing a 2nd kettle/cooler for use as a mash tun?
I appreciate the education.
